“Thanks for watching. Make sure to subscribe for more toys!”
Excuse me? And at the dinner table no less.

Job hunting in the video games industry
This is why I started the Game Industry Job Hunt podcast — to help those of us embroiled in this mess hopefully get out of it a little sooner and with a little less pain.
We have to take care of each other here, because our industry sure as hell isn’t gonna do it for us.

2024 currently has more known games industry layoffs than 2023+2022 combined.
2024 is roughly 600 layoffs away from doubling 2023. There is still plenty of business days left in the month.
I can't emphasize enough how extreme these last few years have been.
So far.

Is anyone else getting totally thrown off by the 30th Anniversary screens that pop up when you boot up your PS5?
I mean, they’re great, but I keep thinking there’s something wrong with my console, lol

The games industry is a mess, and not just for those of us that have been a part of the rampant layoffs.
Tons of awesome entry-level folks who are trying to get their start are also being affected.

Hey, so you’ll probably see me posting a lot about job hunting in the video games industry.
That’s because I’m currently doing it myself, but also because I’ve always enjoyed helping others realize their dream of working in video games by sharing how I got into it (somewhat unconventionally)…
