>have to move to major city and double COL
>make 2/3 as much as an enterprise developer
>high chance of working somewhere with crunch
Nah, I've seriously considered it as a career path a few times and took some interviews, but in the end the downsides don't seem worth it. Better off just doing game dev as a hobby, at least that way I get full control over whatever I make and prevent vidya from being a full-time job. Nothing makes you hate your hobby more than doing it 40 hours a week to survive
