I was in the industry for just shy of 20 years, and it hit me seeing that list just how many studios are missing from it.

It was nice though to see New Blood do this, and I honestly don't expect them to run one with all of the studios because frankly that would take hours to show.

I don't think I'll ever go back to games, but know that the people who make games: QA, design, art, etc, are leaving in droves, which is for the best. Microsoft is struggling to hire people in Vancouver. Why? They've lowered pay for many positions, fired almost anyone with over 2 years of experience there, and hire part time. A friend of mine was offered a Lead position... For 14 months.

If they don't believe in the games they're making, neither should you.

Sounds like they just hate runaway late-stage capitalism...
