    I wonder how many of these layoffs would have happened if all the industry buyouts and mergers hadn’t been allowed these past couple of years.

    People love to focus on the layoffs way waaay too much. They get rehired when a new project starts. It’s not like there’s millions of laidoff game devs wandering the streets.

      I’ve been unemployed for two years. Nobody is getting rehired right now.
