The gaming industry is NOT what you think.
Let me drop some truth bombs.
Here are 10 harsh realities many ignore:
𝟭. 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺.
LOL, no. It’s brutal. It’s art, tech, and business smashed into one impossible puzzle.
𝟮. 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩.
They’re not. Pressure shows you who’s in it for the team and who’s out for themselves.
𝟯. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘸.
For who? Not you. Not yet. You’ll grind for 7-10 years before the money’s decent.
𝟰. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨
You can’t. Playing games isn’t optional - it’s homework. And it’s never-ending.
𝟱. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘳.
Wake up. Studios shut down. Projects fail. Stability in gaming has always been fragile.
𝟲. 𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺.
Nope. You’ll follow orders for YEARS before your ideas even hit the table.
𝟳. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭, 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺.
No chance. It’s a scrappy, messy grind fueled by passion and duct tape.
𝟴. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘺.
Stop. It’s a high-stakes battlefield full of egos and drama. Get ready to earn your spot.
𝟵. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥.
Fun? Sure, sometimes. Organized? Rarely. Both at the same time? Never.
𝟭𝟬. 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦.
Playing it safe is a disaster. You have to take risks. Big risks. That’s how you win.
🔴 So why do it?
Because you LOVE GAMES. Because you CAN’T IMAGINE doing anything else.
But if you’re here for easy money or a safe ride? You’re in the wrong place.
