It’s messy, there are a lot of people laid off, but also there are a lot of companies snatching up talent. I know some games people that have been laid off three times in the past 2 years :/

Good that some companies can invest in talent. It must be tough to lose a job, get a new job and then lose that one as well within two years and I can’t imagine how it would feel like to lose my job three times in two years.

unfortunately the game industry is full of that crap, that’s why unions are starting to pop up.
It’s basically contract gigs. Someone has a hit on their hands, so they have unlimited cash to get it out the door, someone else’s title does poorly in focus groups, they companies just shed their mid tier workers and they hop company to company
