> There are lots of jobs in computer software where you do not, necessarily, have to be really, really, really, good at math. Computer games are not one of them. The article does not seem entirely objective to me. It seems to equate the entire game industry to the process and cycles big-budget triple-A titles go through. I ended up being a software architect in the game industry, doing pretty well, and I did all of that after dropping out of studying graphic design at art school. I've never been a math genius, or even a stellar student. I have a fairly well balanced lifestyle and am paid very well. I'm not saying this to brag. I just want to point out that a lot of the assumptions stated in this article are bullshit. You don't need to be great at math to be a game engineer. You don't need to finish a four-year degree at Stanford. If you're smart and can hustle, you'll do fine in the game (or any other) industry.
