Okay, so maybe itâs not always quite that extreme, but the fact is that the game industry is actually quite a deceptively-stressful place, and fresh-faced younguns with dreams of "laying video games all day" are in for it. And there are some difficulties that are not exaggerations: unfortunately, there are major-title studios where an 80-hour week isnât a melodramatic legend, but a light schedule. And when that game ships? A sea of arbitrary, tepid reviews from an apparently-jaded reviews corps, and endless forum threads stuffed with one-liners from an audience comfortable contributing only "failget" to the discussion.
Just like any other job that seems ''cool'', it gets frustrating as you test run levels over and over again, debugging them, until you hate the game you made.

Yah, I have seen many a job that seemed cool, or easy, but if you don't like what you do, life will most likely suck. You need to be absolutely fascinated by something, or else you will again, probably hate your job. Videogames are awesome, and I love making websites with code, but games are way to complex and time consuming for me. Let the cool, and patient, people make the games, and I will play them.
I've read an article that to outsiders, working at some video game companies are extremely stressful. From what I can see with my limited knowledge, you have to really love working on video games to survive working in the industry.
Article was title something like "10 reasons to NOT work in the video game industry".
I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.
RONALD REAGAN, speech, Aug. 8, 1983 that being said video games could be amazing enough theese days they could train people that sounds like strenus work but sounds fun
um, no not really. Look it up. That's why you control how much you play and understand when to take a break. And talking to people on a Xbox/PS3 over a mic is NOT social interaction. So don't try that argument.
also since were reaching an era full of technology and information something in that line of work really pays well. also a thing i would love to do is be in the company Novint. they make all kinds of crazy stuff like an arm controller thingy called the Xio. heres a link[url=http://www.novint.com/]
