"Currently, the 50 largest studios in Germany have around 250 job postings online. "2 years ago, [...] there were around 500 open jobs. Before the pandemic it was more or less always more than 1000 each month"

I totally missed that #gamesjobsgermany closed down 😢

Thx for the great job you did over the years - so sad that the platform is not there anymore bc of missing job offers, when it is most needed.
