    If you wanna make it as a game dev, the trick is to not sign up with a major publisher (unless it’s like Larian or Devolver or something), because it’s only a matter of time before you get laid off or given some impossible demands to satiate the shareholders.

      Lol at your “major publisher” list consisting of “company with one real success and company with no recent successful games”

          Never played call of duty. Played Fortnite on occasion with some folks but not since probably 2022 give or take.

          But yes, I would agree epic and ea are “major”
