Video Games Are Destroying the People Who Make Them
I never understood why people went into the gaming industry unless it was in a position where they did decision making and got credit.<p>Growing up in the 80/90is I remember thinking a place like Bioware or Black Isle/Troika would've been cool places to work, but as I reached adulthood and understood what went into working those places, the dream quickly faded.<p>Imagine having to work long hours at shit pay, to design/build some loot crate system. Especially when your skill set is in high-demand and you could've gone into something like healthcare IT, where you could be improving people's lives, at 37-45 hours a week at four times the pay.<p>I really don't mean to be rude, I just can't fathom the motivation you would have to work some anonymous job in the video gaming industry.
