The game industry today is just like all other industries. Everyone is facing the sharp end of the stick with all this talk about economic recession. I admit that things are getting tough and its probably not going to stop anytime soon but has anyone considered the fact that this has happened several times before in the past century and it hasn't been an issue until now? rubbish!

Heres how I think the problem should be resolved: people should stop worrying, spend less/save more money rather than buying rubbish like that £300 dress or a new exhaust for your Ford shit-box and get on with there lives. And for god's sake, stop borrowing money that you cant F-ing pay back! It wont go away if everyone gets a loan and then doesn't pay it back because they see an advert on TV about a legislation that negates the money they owe.

Now that I'm done ranting I suppose I need to look into how this has affected the game industry and as a result, will affect me. First of all, the obvious fact is there will be some cuts. Cuts in jobs and cuts in pay. It just cant be helped. But like I said, this has happened before and it may take a few years but things will eventually get better.

we haven't seen it yet but this decline in the economy will eventually start to show in the quality of games which is an unfortunate probability. either that or the industry will suffer more because people haven't been able to afford the games on the shelves that they would have bought 5 or so years ago. To be honest, the only thing I am worried about is getting the job in the first place. I wouldn't be too bothered about working for a fairly low wage. I think i would just be grateful that i got the job in the first place and that I'm not stacking shelves in my local Tesco metro (no offense to anyone that works in Tesco metro, someone has to do it). if the people in industry are upset about any set backs, i would be glad i have a job that i enjoy and i can show my creativity through if i was them.
