Sexier seems like an odd choice of word. I assume you mean, being a video game designer is sexier to the person doing the job? Low pay. Low prestige. Long hour

Low pay. Low prestige. Long hours.
I mean, give me two of those and maybe I'll consider the sexiness.
Don't you think it's that a lot of young future-Salesforce-developers think that making games will be a lot more like playing games than it really is?
(PSA: Making games usually is not at all like playing games, unless you're really into grindfests.)
- booleandilemma 9y agoA better word might be “glamorous”.
- checkyoursudo 9y agoOk, I can accept that. I can even accept that some people think game dev is sexy. And I'm willing to say that it's all on me for not understanding, but I just don't understand how game dev (especially if you read about how it really happens) is more sexy or glamorous than Salesforce dev? My only guess is that gamers think games are way sexier than the way Salseforcers think about Salesforcing, and so maybe game devs get a little more hero status than Salesforce devs? Something like that? Do most actual game developers think, "whoa, this work I'm doing is so sexy"? I don't know that they don't. I've just never heard it. I'm sorry to all the sexy game devs I've slighted by these opinions. It is not at all my intention. Keep on with your sexiness.
