Are you being sarcastic? The game industry is the hardest and most miserable. Surely you haven't missed that.

- gerbilly 9y agoThe worst games to work on are the sports franchises, they have to be out before the next season starts because the team lineups might change next season.
- gambiting 9y agoI guess, if you pick badly then it probably is. I've been working in video games for 4 years now(as a C++ engine programmer) and I'm still enjoying it a lot. We ship a project, millions of people enjoy it, it feels great. The last time I had to do overtime was 2 years ago I think, I'm usually home by 5pm and get to do other stuff I really enjoy. The pay could be a bit better, but seriously, the superb job satisfaction and good work-life balance is worth the slight reduction in pay compared to companies where you hate every second of being there.
- some_account 9y agoAlright, nice to hear there are still decent companies out there. Its easy to get the image that the entire industry is really bad.
