i always read "most people laid off will just switch industries" ... seriously, i wouldnt know what industry i could even go to. games programming is not programming. you just cant go and write code for medical devices

@kevkev FWIW, I literally am a game developer who also writes code for medical training simulators for spinal surgery.

You'd be surprised how much transfers. I've also spent time writing corporate data systems, industrial valve controllers, theater scheduling systems...

@kevkev I am, actually. While I've moved to Godot for all personal projects (and recommend it to my clients), I do use Unity at multiple clients' request. Big thing about being a contractor is quickly adjusting to a client's preferred dev environment.
