So the gaming industry was having huge profits (2024?), then they decided to layoff a bunch of people for "reasons", which displaced a bunch of people in the industry, who then became indies and are making good money, and people working for studios are salty about something they caused?

How cancerous do you have to be in your industry to be pissed at people trying to recover from your cancer?

"deprofessionalization" is this corporate speak for "doesn't have a cushy middle management job at EA"? I tried looking up the meaning and came away even more confused. You aren't a real gaming dev if you don't work for a huge studio?

Weird way to de-legitimize people who had to look for work elsewhere. The people who left or got laid off are escaping a shitscape for sure.

    Well, /some/ people are making good indie games

    Don't forget that shortly before 2020 there was a *huge* hiring boom for all IT jobs. Many of those people were useless DEI hires that never contributed anything

    Yeah. I'll judge a game by the game, !by the studio that made it.

    Case in point - anyone played the 'Bouncer 2' for the PlayStation that was made on the Net Yaroze?

    Damn, I love it.
