They're working full-time, long hours (lots of unpaid overtime), and pay often isn't great even for programmers, but especially for non-programming roles (outside of the largest/most successful studios, mostly in the US, where it can be a lot better).
I'm sure they'd also love to do part-time gig work and be guaranteed a full-time income from it, but that's usually not an option. Many programmers leave games after a while for better-paying work, less stress, and/or more job security elsewhere.
- crazygringo 3y agoI don't get what you're saying. Yes conditions could be better for programmers, but they're nowhere near as bad as for voice actors. > I'm sure they'd also love to do part-time gig work and be guaranteed a full-time income from it, but that's usually not an option. And voice actors would love that too. But they don't get it, that's the point. And "part time" is hiding the fact that, as I said elsewhere, they're often preparing for 50 auditions to get a single gig. It's not like there's an agency that just hands out work.
