Once you turn what you love doing into a business, there's no going back. There are still people deeply passionate about making games, but that's just not the reality of these massive studios. They're in for the money, and the leadership aren't even... gamers themselves, somehow
Start playing more indie games with passion behind them and less AAA money grabbing half polished turds they keep pumping out. It's the only way out of this mess.
That's basically all I do at this point, and it's been really nice. A lot of genuinely fantastic experiences. Always labor of love, a game they'd love to play themselves
