: I'm glad I got out of a game design major when I did (hearing this stuff was
: exactly why).

In 2003 I was an aspiring game developer (as in... I was trying to break into that business) and I got to speak with Jason Jones at E3 and asked him for advice on how. I don't recall his exact words but they were to the effect of "don't bother trying".

That same year a hard drive crash and the mysterious vanishing of one of our programmers killed the startup my friends and I had been trying to get off the ground, so I ended up not.

Looking at the state of the game industry today, I'm kinda glad I don't work there now.
