MODERATORS
The game industry doesnt pay enough to get the good workers. Its honestly a terrible industry to go in unless you have passion for it.
Bad pay, permanent crunch, hateful / toxic fan base. Yeah. I love the idea of creating video games but the realities of it are unfortunately pretty terrible. I'd definitely not be tough skinned enough for that.
And programming video games is really difficult most of the time compared to working on something like a point of sale system or API
Yup. I'm in enterprise Dev because gamedev pays peanuts. I earn 4x what I would in game dev. It's terrible.
