Job numbers in the games industry are now almost the same as pre pandemic levels though. The problem was that these companies hired too many people, because money was cheap and they saw an uptick in sales during the lockdowns. They thought those sales numbers would sustain but it didn’t and interest rates went up. So the layoffs came.
Because they fired so many people at the same time it of course is really hard to find a job in the industry right now. But the industry isn’t collapsing. It will just take a few years until supply and demand finds a sustainable equilibrium.
NFTs and Blockchain are just a fad and AI/LLMs will not destroy jobs in the industry, the shit AI and LLMs poop out is not meeting any of the standards required for production.
