There will always be more people who want to make it in tech than there are rooms and businesses who can hire them. It may not always be the perfect person for the job but the flood will never end. That is why cali gets more and more expensive(just like nyc, vancouver and austin).

They're just small companies trying to get an idea off the ground. Most of the time it's "how can I get this retarded firm to give me money so I can just sell off this bullshit and live my live" but occasionally they'll actually try to make it work. This eventually is followed by a big company like google or facebook either buying them or just copying the startup's idea on their own platforms, making the small company irrelevant.

Most Hollywood movies are shot in cheaper places like Georgia or British Columbia. The ones that are actually in California still are the executives and the A-listers.
>>
>>732545548
(Sorry if this post's kind of a mess, multitasking IRL.)

Hollywood, Disney & Co. have been eating shit a lot the last decade, they don't know what to do about The Age of Streaming and just shit out movies that barely break even while fewer and fewer people give a fuck about celebrities they're grooming/"grooming" into those roles.

It's funny that them not knowing what to do is also the cause AND effect of why movies suck more every year and why there's basically three (kinda 2.5) factions of actors these days:
>the people who've been acting for like 60 years now and everyone knows and loves them, but they're dying out, being #canceled for not being left-wing enough, or got replaced from a star role and cast in a shit movie once and got dropped for it
>the younglings (sub-30s) that pop up out of nowhere named "Kirklann D'signatur" and get super famous and rich overnight and get shoved into remakes left and right, and nobody knows where the fuck they came from
>the younglings that pop up out of nowhere and you can 100% tell the only reason they have that job is because they're [race] or [sexuality] and otherwise they're a mid-tier actor/actress at best

The only reason these companies survive is because they're:
1. Burning through century-old war chests.
2. Firing/blacklisting all the experts and veterans.
3. Leveraging "old blood", and hiring lawyers and economists to maximize tax exemptions.
4. Getting free DEI grants.
5. Using weird buyout tactics to turn two floundering companies into one successful one (temporarily).
6. Outsourcing whenever possible.
7. Gaslighting people into thinking they're fine, keeping shareholders happy and keeping the money flowing.

Nothing but a good thing. Game dev can be done completely remote with modern tech. The strongest teams devoid of political ideology cultures will prevail because of it. The top talent even more motivated to do their best because they're not paying $4k/mo for a cramped apartment and sitting in traffic all day to take their kids to schools filled with browns.

Hollywood is a kosher mafia that is deeply entrenched into politics (can always get favorable legislation, get away with almost outright tax fraud), banking and major investment firms (can always get cheaper loans, even in economic downturn). It's also such a massive "cultural staple" that there is always going to some NPCs checking their products. You won't get Concord tier bombs with the garbage they are producing.
This is not the case for gaming industry, at least not to the same degree.
Next 2008 and a lot of AAA slop companies are going bankrupt.

It's a combination.
When you're young your body doesn't need exercise to avoid feeling shit.
As you get older you need to do more to keep everything in working order. If you like exercising anyway you might never notice this, but if you spent your teens and 20s rotting and expecting to be comfortable it's going to hit you hard in your 30's.

All the new industry plants with a squeaky clean career and all the new kids with shining acting school careers who got groomed by rich fat fuck executives instead of some known director finding, picking it literally off the street and mentoring them (and sexually abusing them, but as a treat for himself rather than some disney board meeting gangbang)

Picture a dev team made out of serbians or poles, 60% of it is productive individuals and 40% is low iq mongoloids that would fuck up a cup of coffee. The good outnumbers the bad, so the 60% can cope with and fix whatever the 40% fucks up

With indians, the split becomes 90% useless 10% good, with the added bonus the 90% will deny their code is shit and get upset when called out. Most of dev time is the 10% trying to make something out of the pile of shit the 90% just shat out

It doesn't help much, you see the same secular Jewish culture in practically every American/Western entertainment product.
Just physically removing people from California won't help much. What we need are people from completely different cultures making their games, but guess what, even when a Czech comes up with a successful game, the sequel will have a gay protagonist, a theme of fighting anti-Semitism, a black character putting a relativistic perspective on cultures, etc.
Even the fucking Japanese, who used to just copy the aesthetics of American action movies, are now making games that are basically derivatives of secular Jewish culture.
How to get rid of this shit? Impossible, the USA has become a Jewish supremacist nation, even though only 2.5% of its population is of this race. This Jewish garbage that the whole world consumes will persist as long as the US is the world's major cultural influence.
On a personal level, however, it's easy. Just build up your cultural knowledge through the classics. No wonder Americans fight day in and day out to remove the influence of the classics from the education of young people.

Even before the AI boom, FAANG sucked up all the competent coders in the same way. So the ones left working on games are either people doing it for love of the game(rare) or rejects that can't get a better job/a revolving door of cheap H1Bs.

Imo this is why American games are complete dogshit now, the activists pushing agendas adds to it but the games themselves are never good anymore because the entire industry has been drained of talent and the ones that are autistic enough to be doing it for love of the game are probably quitting because of their woke coworkers and making an indie game instead.

>The global market share of American films has declined significantly, dropping from 92% to 66% over the last two decades. This shift is driven by the rising popularity of local-language productions, particularly in Asia, and stricter foreign regulations, reducing Hollywood's dominance in international box office revenue.

Leftists are just useful idiots for big corporations and bureaucrats who want to own and control everything. They also help the old money fight all the new money, ever notice how all the billionaires they hate on are newly selfmade? Corporations bailed on this recently though because the clowns started to run the circus and now they have to focus on survival. The old money and corrupt bureaucrats are left seething and fighting each other now that their main pushing force is gone. This is all while the clowns take over more and more of the leftist movement and have started blaming their arrogant leaders for making them so retarded it crashed their movement. Once you understand this angle, a lot of modern leftist behavior makes sense.

Owning housing and not living in it yourself should be made illegal all across the world. This would fix the cost of living crisis instantly since parasites wouldn't be able to park their wealth in it anymore so now they actually need to make it circulate (like its supposed to) around the economy and it would prevent these same parasites from trying to turn survival into a fucking subscription fee. The economy would reel in pain for a decade or so if this is done but it honestly needs to be done and the sooner it is the better.

Anon I'm a califag and I had to explain to my parents that I would never own a home and they were legitimately confused as to why I was upset.

Their answer to my grievances wasn't that we should build more houses (because that would lower their housing value). Instead they said I need to get married, pool all our money together, and then risk it all to get our foot in the door for a house. Then I'm supposed to sit on it until it gets enough new value from no new houses being built so I can sell it to another shmuck to upgrade my house like some kind of ocean snail upgrading its shell. When I asked what they were going to do with their current house when they pass they said they would sell it so they could travel the world before they die and my mom laughed when I suggested it be passed onto me or my siblings.

funny to think that one of cali's longest standing problems is the zoning laws preventing new housing from being built EVEN THOUGH the state is a left-wing idealogical stronghold and they should in theory have enough consolidated power and solidarity to very easily amend those and fix the problem.

If your job is only about sitting at a computer desk all day then there is literally no reason for it to be constrained to an "office".

Offices are essentially outdated for white collar work in the year of our lord 2026 and for blue collar work it's only kept afloat by the idea that company tools, vehicles and materials all need to be stored somewhere easily accessible for every worker on payroll.

The lack of self-awareness from this guy is astounding. The "ticking time bomb" already burst years ago and all these shitty AAA games bombing is the RESULT.

Hollywood offers tax breaks and grants to film and entertainment companies, but these benefits are not often given to video game companies.

Yes and no, Japan took a very interesting approach where it was very all or nothing.
The 'loser' of the case is literally gg for life, there was an incident once where a guy and his girlfriend extorted some random salary man for touching the girl on the train (this was all fake, he didn't. They just wanted money from him) his wife divorced him, he lost his job and his life was pretty much over even when the two admitted to it all it was too late.

There's always a freak out whenever the "free money" and by that I mean basically zero interest rates loans from Wall Street goes away and they blame everyone else that they can no longer throw infinite amount of money around as VCs and Angels until something sticks and they make back billions. Trump has certainly fucked up a lot of other things but all that will come from this is a centralization of the big players just how when the last Republican admin crashed the economy with no survivors because of shitty mortgage backed security bullshit they blamed it on poor people and then a handful of sacrificial lambs (lehman bros etc) went down but all the others got bigger and more centralized eating the pieces.

>Detroit
Detroit's problem came from being nearly entirely dependent on the auto industry and a few others so when globalized outsourcing (along with the Japanese boom times, but not exclusively because of it) undermined Detroit's industries and, thanks to decades of weakening of unions which was finalized under the Reagan years, it meant that there was little to nothing left for them once Ford and Chrysler fucked off to build cars in Mexico and import cheap Chinese bullshit steel etc. similar things happened in a lot of 'blue collar working cities' once the industries left that kept them up since WWII, but Detroit was worse and faster than most. This is far different than CA which is far more diverse industry wise than just hollywood or game industries for that matter.
