Yet.

Also, out of respect for the entire sustainability of the sector, why perpetuate a company that treats engineers like disposable commodities?

They generally go hand-in-hand... those execs who treat game engineers poorly, think they can replace those same engineers in a day or so.

After 30 years of seeing this over and over, I left the game industry.

At the first sign of this I tend to leave a company. I just can't, in good faith, participate in treating people like this.

I managed to learn a few things (no particular order):

1. work for an engineer ceo 2. work on a product that requires engineers (not just sales) 3. work for yourself

He would be incredibly hard to replace for various reasons. But they're gonna have to when he leaves I guess....
