Very interesting to see the game industry talk about this phenomenon as 'deprofessionalisation'. Definitely more visible now in the wake of all the layoffs, but really this has been unfolding for 15+ years now as both platformisation and gigification.

www.gamedeveloper.com/business/-de...

The 'deprofessionalization of video games' was on full display at PAX East

PAX East felt like a warning: explosively successful games by solo devs and small teams are great, but it could lead to a dearth of vital specialists.

How does ROLLBACK NETCODE work, why is it so difficult to program, and why is it the gold standard for fighting games? A whirlwind tour of different solutions #pixelart #gamedev #AnimationVERSUS

The setup: you have a video game with couch co-op and want to add online multiplayer. Easy, right...?
