What, you mean, after laying off all the creatives?
Who could have ever imagined such an unprecedented outcome except literally fucking everyone.
"We need as many golden parachutes prepared as possible, people! This shit is going DOWN!"
"Who needs creatives when we have AI?!"
A lot of the industry’s progress comes from its mistakes. Every pioneer has had histories of dumb games they made that weren’t well received (and that they were not immediately fired for).
But now people aren’t even staying in the industry long thanks to burnout, turnover, and “firing sprees” now signature to the tech industry. Sooner or later people either just get other job types, or try starting their own small studio making 8-bit Roguelikes.
