I worked in the gaming industry for a couple of years and after I worked in the RTB industry and lately in the forex industry. I am not alone, and I have a lot of friends coming out of gaming that work very well in other industries. The problem is not whether or not game developers know how to reuse code but whether or not it makes sense or are allowed to reuse it. One big challenge when you are going to reuse code is not having a stable set of requirements (which in gaming is almost non existing even in the late stage of a project) and when you take that and join it with tight and unreasonable schedules you would have a huge mess as result. The state of the industry is very unhealthy in my opinion and I wouldn't be surprise if there is another dark age for videogames coming up.
