The games industry at the moment is facing some problems due to the economy drop; quite a lot of jobs have been lost due to this. For example the games company "free radical" has been shut down altogether due to one game release called Haze which did badly for the company and the sales didn’t cover the costs and they had to close up.
I think with this in mind that the games industry would need a few years to fully recover from the economy drop and will be proberly better for it. During the drop it will be even more difficult for people to get jobs in the industry simply because the companies might not be able to afford them. This includes the 3rd years if I were them I would be trying not to panic heh.
From the Rare lecture we had both lecturers talk about how much they enjoy working for Rare and that it is a social fun place to be like for example they discussed how they would play football between breaks and have see each other out of work to have a drink or two at the pub. I think it’s nice to have that since people wouldn’t want to work in a boring environment and do nothing.
