>can you please elaborate why? i plan to start learning to code and making a game would be one of the final milestones on the loose roadmap i've set for myself -- i get it's complex but would love to know why you advise against it. Making your own games is really fun and rewarding. Highly recommended. But the games industry works more like Hollywood than Silicon Valley. Games are either a hit or a flop, and they have very tight release schedules with hard deadlines like a movie. The resulting work environment is notoriously terrible.
