The real real answer, talent pools diminishing because of shit working conditions and better prospects in other fields. Seriously the 2000’s were the golden era for developers where they would receive the lion’s share for their hard work

I came into uni loving the idea of game development specifically for Blizzard but after reading John Staats book of the making of WoW &amp; seeing the shitty practices that ensued I pivoted to general software development where working conditions &amp; pay are far better
