0367: Games Recap | Crunch Deaths, Mass Layoffs, Political Firings, and Global Shifts

In this solo episode, I address three significant topics in the
game development industry: backlash from social media posts
following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie
Kirk, the tragic death of Microsoft engineer Pratik Pandey linked
to crunch culture, and the broader industry shakeout leading to
significant job losses.


The discussion covers the impacts of public comments by game
developers on their careers, the systemic issue of overwork in
the tech industry, and the uneven global recovery in the video
game sector with a particular focus on job cuts in California
versus growth in Europe and Asia.
