My impression is that game developers mostly leave the gaming world after burning out too many times. Some cynical advice might be to only hire them a year after they stopped working on games?
Disclaimer: I only know a few game developers. They are really good -- and to man burned out on that industry.
- sgoraya 17y agoI am one of the burned out ones ;) I worked in the industry for approximately 6 years (2 companies) and got out due to the stressful crunch periods and associated drama of working in a game studio - if you are working on multiple titles, the stress increases by orders of magnitude. In addition to the bug fixing and testing there is the necessary hassle of submitting the games to SONY/MS/Nintendo, marketing coordination (with what seems like infinite number of mags and gaming sites), etc. and etc. ...now doing geospatial web applications.
