The Harsh Realities of Game Dev Careers

A market overcrowded...

The game industry is oversaturated, with more candidates than available roles. With 22,700 layoffs over the past two years, competition is fiercer than ever, and only the top 10% may secure roles. This isn't unique to game development—many industries face similar challenges. Instead of relying on job lists, focus on building your skills, experience, and network. While the path is tough, standing out through specialized skills, a strong portfolio, and genuine connections can make all the difference.
