Why is the videogame industry so unstable?It doesn't seem like a good career choice, and probably only attracts the desperate or naive/young.If it were stable, would you have ever wanted to work in it?
I would work in it just to intentionally sabotage games.

There is a LOT of gamers, but they all buy very little games.If you go to the movies, chances are, you are going multiple times in a yearIf you actually pay for games, statistics say you buy an average of 1 game per yearSo every dev is calculating their windows release to capture the most fans of any given genre, it's dire out thereIf you are making a small game with a small studio, pray to god a big game of your genre doesn't release on the same YEAR as your game of you are done
