The videogames industry is completely paralyzed by fear of conflict. It's in a transition between the old guard who never had any training and revel in conflict (sometimes, but rarely, too toxic levels) and the new starters some of whom seem to have no idea that criticism is an intrinsic part of the creative act.

It's very sad and products are failing all over the place while the industry works it's way through this. It might not make it as the current solution is to homogonize all staff and remove their intrinsic value.

Oh well, I enjoyed the first 20 years in the industry, not so much the last 10 years.

Not only the games industry, we seem to be on a fluffy world where any kind of negativity has direct impact on job evaluation, and can even lead to losing the job.

A couple of years ago I worked on such good vibes project, uff.

There are pockets here and there, even inside of AAA studios. But I agree, I'm unlikely to stay in games once I leave this job or am laid off.
