Of course.
> and do you know why?
Because games are fun, and programming is fun, and programming something that will be fun for other people is fun.
But the games industry is crowded, and highly profit-optimized, and you just instinctively know that getting a tour of the budget sausage factory wouldn't bring a true sausage lover any significant pleasure.
- Bekwnn 7y agoThe games industry being crowded is a bit of a myth, though initially breaking into it does present a barrier. Lots of studios seem hungry for anyone with experience. Though, a lot of the actually interesting projects are crowded. Which is a real concern if that's the only type you want to work on (I'm in that camp...) Like programming, once you have a few years under your belt, things really open up.
