Ya. I think it’s a provocative headline for US and Canadian users but the more full thing is that it’s a AAA problem primarily in the US and US AAA development is in California. AAA employment is bad in the western aligned world but fine in Asia so some recommendations for workers in the industry that want to do AAA is that they may need to be willing to relocate around the world as AAA game studios boom and bust around the world

Yeah, I’ve noticed more hits coming out Europe lately, with the likes of Remedy, Larian, Warhorse, Hazelight, etc., and probably the reasons they could afford to make those games in the first place is that labor costs are far cheaper for a similar result. Where capital is flowing and creating employment, I’d imagine, is tightly correlated with that.
