The Games Are Great. The Industry Is A Mess.

Record sales. Critical darlings. Sold-out launches. And still, thousands of developers are out of a job. This episode digs into the gap nobody in gaming wants to talk about: the industry is making more money than ever while gutting the people who make it happen.

We break down what's actually driving the layoffs (hint: it's not the games), what Bungie and Concord taught the industry the hard way, and why "the games are good" and "the industry is broken" are both true at the same time. If you've ever wondered how a $200 billion industry keeps torching its own talent, this one's for you.
