Basically game devs are like farm hands. Seasonal workers, fired when the fields are harvested.

Game development and teaching.

Two industries that would be right up my alley. Two industries that prey on and exploit people who have a strong passion for their work. Two industries that I have stayed far away from. :/

But then the fired devs can join together to make a hit game, be bought out by one of three companies within five years, make a shittier game sold on good will, and get fired. The circle of life.

Tango gameworks says hi.
