I've been on the job hunt again since my contract ends and getting anyone to even get near my previous salary ($180-190k) immediately disqualifies me. I'm looking at a 50% paycut right now. It's brutal.

...asking for a rate that high is only achievable by a handful of well-funded companies in high cost of living cities. Riot, Sony studios, some smaller VC funded studios that got money before this whole thing collapsed.

This is not accurate. I've been earning north of $180k since 2020 (but no more than $190k) and I've DEFINITELY an anomaly within my friend group who are mostly visual artists, producers and QA. Having been on the job hunt early this year and now again...

Lad doesn't even read his own comments lmao. He's certainly not reading random devs' posts.
Also these people are on their way out of an industry that's already struggling. The grift can only go on so long.

I love seeing how an artists art changes over time. It'd be more concerned if it didn't it means you have stopped trying new things!

Big hugs. You're not alone but I know that doesn't make it easier. I'm also having to contemplate potential massive life changes... It's a scary time. 🫂

I feel seen that the original post has the Lycan from The Order:1886. Always a jumpscare to see a game you worked on a decade later 😂

and to be fair one of my favourite franchises is NOTORIOUS for this - the amount of event exclusive Pokemon that exist and have never been redistributed or won't be seen for another 10 years is ridiculous.

HOWEVER, I also know when I'm not enjoying a game enough to 100% it or even complete it. The games I find difficult are ones that are perpetually updated so there is no way to keep up without constantly playing. Seasonal content shouldn't be locked away cause I took a break :(
