I love video games, but I told my cousin not to go into that field because of how terribly game developers are treated/paid, and that if your plan is to make an indie hit like balatro or Minecraft, you probably would have better luck playing the lottery. But I'm not really in that industry, I've just read a lot of articles. If anyone is actually in that line of work, would you say my warning was accurate?
I have a friend who has worked for 3 companies over 6 years. She has never once released a game as they were all cancelled before release. She found out she lost her job at one company after reading an interview about a bunch of studios being shut down. One of them was the place she worked. Even her boss apparently didn't know.
The studio she works at now initially hired her for completely remote work, but they've since changed their minds and now she has to drive over 100km to work every day. She was going to quit but she's sticking with it for now in the hopes of finishing at least one game.
