Why Games in 2024 Will Be Bad

[@Pbmarron]

I’m with you 100%. I have a job, but it pays poorly despite being very high skilled. I have multiple college degrees, a lot of skills and experience….but I can’t get hired in a job that pays a living wage. This horrifies me as a husband and father who must provide for his family.

[@sonderingemily]

I feel 😭 It's so hard to find a job that actually pays well. Hoping for the best in the future.

It's crazy how similar your story matches my own, although we were in different fields. Thank you for this vulnerable and heart centered video. It's the least lonely I've felt since my lay off back in April.

[@sonderingemily]

I'm really glad my video could help you, thank you!

[@lukeydukegames2761]

I got laid off from epic games this year. It hurts, watching your content is super relatable and it's helped me so much with how I've been feeling. Thank you Emily for all that you do!

[@sonderingemily]

Damn, it really sucks to hear that. I hope you're able to find another role soon - you aren't alone in the unemployment struggle 😭

I didn't knew game industry got hit by layoffs so badly. I work as software engineer and especially in Europe we didn't experienced layoffs at least in a sense that large USA tech companies did.

[@newogame1]

I had a gamedev job once :( in the good old days.

[@aleetimes3]

Its a damned real one ots dark days working in tech as a designer or otherwise. I have a job but live in constant fear of losing it at some point

[@Rezail_Uhhh]

I've learned not to lean on companies for all of my money anymore. It's why I always look for alternative ways to make money.

[@Tanyathestoryteller]

At this point I'm planning on funding my passion (video game design) with a job i can actually keep.

[@sonderingemily]

That's what I was trying to do with a job in tech. It didn't go so well 😅

[@PBromide]

Yeah, it's hard for software developers out here. :( We'll keep doing the best we can... Looking forward to your future videos!

[@sonderingemily]

Thank you!

[@frizzman1991]

Big true. Employees cost the big wigs too much money, but they need the worker bees to make the games. If only CEOs weren't largely incompetent and out-of-touch. We need more people like Sven

[@xxcamelia]

That's terrible! The animation industry also have it bad... as a animation student who is interested in game dev, this sucks lmao On a more positive note, I wanted to say that I was inspired by your Powerpoint video and made my own (very small) game in Powerpoint thanks to you, and now I'm thinking of creating an actual visual novel in Ren'Py 🥰

[@sonderingemily]

Wow, that's amazing! Thank you so much

Are companies nuts games take longer to make and offer no job security no matter hoe good you are whats going on How can a company complain it takes longer to make a game while loosely fire-ing devellopers insted of giving them stable longterm jobs

[@Kimvanloocke]

On behalf of me being a gamer its an outrage yes life is getting more expencive but how devs are treated managed is stuped nuts if games take longer to make why not keep the devs imployed longer to finish make a good product and edleast if you can't pay much to a dev give them garrantee of imployment to honor their value thats being appreciated sadly i am not in charge and have no say in how they do bussiness

[@kylelamp]

So sad to see all these layoffs 😔

[@nubcake7637]

Wasn't there a larger parent company over these publishers?

[@masterradiant3149]

Man. I might change career choices

[@khaoss4024]

PlayStation was eating good

[@JeskidoYT]

You joined yahoo?? They have games?? Now they don't want them anymore?! Im shocked i say

[@laumjxx]

You got this Emily ❤

[@jamsjars9505]
