then this will be the year indie games take over
I almost exclusively enjoy indie games.
Let’s just hope Unity isn’t included in that success to come. They are a large part of this figure.
well, i guess Unity apologized and the CEO quit…
but i do hope some of the more truly open source game engines replace it…They apologized and replaced their CEO but then got rid of a quarter of the company, people that probably had nothing to do with their terrible management last year.
Gotta make number go up, forever
Economist: exponential growth, infinitely!
Physicist: uuuuuhhh…
all because higher ups gave themselves too many millions in bonuses and didn’t care to do their jobs properly
It’s more due to AI and/or the expectation of automation being able to reduce the workforce before that actually gets set up functionally. Also that tech companies are doing it to try and kick back against people demanding their wages increase with cost of living, so game devs are piling onboard with layoffs for the same reason.
The layoff wave started way before the AI hype. It is more tied to interest rates imo.
Cool maybe this means more indie games…
Idk I gave up a long time ago when I learned rolling layoffs was the norm in game development.
Unfortunately it doesn’t mean that. Game corporations have too much power and influence over the market.
What are you talking about? Indie development studios spring up out of mistreatment at AAA studios all the time. Where do you think Supergiant, Second Dinner, and Frost Giant came from, for instance?
