If this results in the AAA games industry dying and having a full reset in a couple years when this all blows over, I don't think that's a bad thing. I don't think indie games are going anywhere, so it's not like we won't have anything new to play, and AAA studios have just become so generally awful that there wouldn't be any great loss there.

Sucks that a job in gaming is not a viable career anymore though. Only option left is you slave away as an indie dev and most likely make under 500 bucks in the end. That's kind of unsustainable as a form of income.

All the fun jobs are going away :( time to learn plumbing I guess.

The "fun jobs" were always rare though. The vast majority of of people in the world work at jobs that aren't fun. It's always been that way.
