At least 106 game developers had layoffs in 2023 with over 6,100 job cuts across the industry according to videogamelayoffs.com.

Tech is just as bad if not worse. We’ve had multiple rounds of layoffs. First few were honestly trimming the fat, but last one we lost some really good people.

Then on the flip side, there are places like my company that are actively hiring. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of fat to sift through before we find the qualified candidates.
