OI! Can we get this person cookie?

I remember when it dawned on my poor team lead that they had gone from being a team lead to being alone and in charge of a massive portion of Unity's systems. Just like me, they're an immigrant. However, they also have a family to consider, so what options are available to them?

Being honest mate, it's not much better out there, the games industry is wall to wall owned and operated by mostly borderline-sociopathic MBAs who are as useful as a chocolate teapot and nowhere near as delicious when you bite into them.

It's sad because I've been using Unity since it was only available on MacOS and it used Boo, but hey, c'est l'capitalisme, nes't pas? And already two prospective jobs that were using Unity ghosted me so hard that I know who I gotta call.

So I shrug my shoulders, and keep studying for my third post-graduate[1] that I can barely afford to get more skills so another useless MBA fuck hires me and pays me a pittance.

Oh! And I switched to Godot too, but that was out of spite mostly.

This is why I left the games industry entirely. It's an especially abusive and horrific part of the software industry. Basically, it's become Hollywood.
