become a tranny and you'll have a great time and tons of benefits

Just go indie and make porn games. You'll make as much as you would being a code monkey in an e-factory like EA but you'll just spend all time shitposting in your underwear instead of being a slave.
Benjamin Phillips
yeah. beats retail and food service though.
Brody Ramirez
you won't be making games you like before sucking 10 miles of dick
I'd rather 1MA as a hobby with a decent job
Thomas Parker
Yeah it's the worst. You should probably just become a gay prostitute instead.

depends on the scale of the project.
making an independent game with a team of maybe 10-15 guys? Sure, would be good.
being on a team of 400 and painting trees 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week, no overtime, that'd suck. Hour for Hour you might make more waiting tables or tending bar, but you convince yourself there's upward mobility in the industry and if you do your menial specialized task enough you'll get promoted up and up and have less work and more money.
The sad truth though, is that will never happen, you will never be a lead developer at a major studio without making your own small scale indie hit, or start it independently and get picked up by a publisher, like Cuphead or Risk of Rain 2.

Honestly this. Use your ass as a goldmind while you can, sweet cheeks.
