Of course. There's a bit of delusional idea that games are somehow sustainable business model (admiteddly, they _are_ for some genres).
But, yes, that's the nature of business. This, to me, is a bit like complaining how war-time journalists don't get to spend enough time with their families and are at life risk. It's the biz, and, I'm sorry to be slightly verbally violent, get tougher skin or gtfo. Plenty of sustainable software/design/management roles in various spheres for you if you can't take it.
- Retric 12y agoGames are a sustainable business model. The problem is games are a highly competitive market so where most startups get some traction and keep executing that for years the game industry moves fast and you need a new hit every time. IMO, Pixar is probably the most sustainable model for a hits industry. At a minimum you need a multistage pipeline, rock solid management, and a focus on customers.
