I work in the industry. You’re pretty much right. I wouldn’t recommend people to get into the field unless you’re SUPER into making games and are okay with working way harder than others. That said, other tech jobs are also suffering right now, layoffs are way more common than they used to be throughout the entire field feels very competitive.
