If you want to start making games, instead of trying to make your magnum opus on your first go, please do some game jams. Ludum Dare. Something short with a fixed time limit and specs you need to follow. Learn about developing under restrictions, how to get creative in them, how to scope smartly.

i would love to believe statistics like this, but in the 3.5 years i have been in games i have legitimately never met anyone making over $90k a year unless they were at the very top of upper management for an enormous and profitable AAA company (1/2)

Just fucking insane to see the absolute (intentional) collapse of full remote jobs available for AAA studios in so short a time. Why would I EVER move for a job again when I could be laid off weeks after moving my entire life across the globe??
