As a software engineer with over 25 years of experience, I saw the writing on the wall in 2022. I estimated that I needed an exit plan that I could activate within 3 to 5 years. I’m now retired and living in Vietnam.

This is 100% driven by the subscription fee model vs the purchase/ownership fee model.

if purchasing is not owning than privacy is not stealing.

20 years in this industry, I have worked at a large portion of the biggest AAA game studios. Greed killed this industry, it started 15 years ago when they stifled creativity and forced us to chase what was hot.

You know whats fantastic? Ai has made game creation so accessible we may just start seeing fan-made games FOR FREE that are at aaa game standards. And if theyre free that means copywrite means NOTHING

I will continue to pay for my games, I like supporting the teams working on games I love. Fanmade ports are made for those who don’t have the access to pay for a bunch of consoles but overall software engineering is cooked regardless

This is insane. 15 years ago a job in software engineering or coding was a guaranteed 6 figure job WITH SECURITY. I never thought Id see the day where this happened.

I have 7 years in industry and got laid off. It’s so depressing seeing what’s happening. And knowing that all the years I’ve spent learning extremely complex things…. Just doesn’t matter.
