Ahh reminds me of when I was a fresh CS grad working at Dominos

Now they get to spend the next 5-10 years realizing they are slaves and everything adults have told them about the economy, work, and fairness was cope from those adult slaves.

    As a dev with several close friends who have combined decades of game development - you’re not missing out much. The pay isn’t as good as it needs to be for that amount of crunch, the big companies have so many petty squabbles and politics, and it’s a good road to burn-out. The engines have gotten good enough that making games is a matter of spending the time at night/weekends. Not glamorous, but can be fun and rewarding, even if you never ship.

    Yeah i was willing to do it if it was livable because it was fun for me.
    
    But it’s like getting a CS degree to be a starving artist.
