From the job creation standpoint - top things that would help solve the problem: - Fewer games coming out (we are in a state of oversupply) - Better education for investors about the games industry - Lower interest rates - Better understanding from studio founders of which genres actually have a potential of success - Better access to legal and accounting support - More standardizations of taxes across federal, state and local levels - More support for remote businesses - More support for diverse founders (age, gender, ethnicity, location, neurospiciness, etc)
Honestly, receiving 20-40 messages, sometimes, a week from people saying they are about to be homeless or have exhausted all their funds due to prolonged unemployment is deeply troubling and nauseating. It's disheartening to think people have become almost desensitized to such serious human statements because they hear them every day. Start counting how many posts you see, in feed, of people literally saying this is the state they are in. It will feel like a gut punch. When scores of exceptional games professionals regularly share these dire situations, it's a clear sign that major structural issues need urgent attention yesterday.
