As someone who always thought about getting into gaming as a career, i'm so glad i didn't... it's a shame that game developers are having to suffer through such a toxic industry, and that there aren't more protections in place for these people that create the amazing experiences that we all love so much.
I hope that they are able to find new and better places of employment.
I left the game industry in 2010 (after 18 years) and it was the best career decision I've ever made.
I still get to work with amazing people on interesting problems AND I work sustainable hours and am compensated better.
