Good, and very important lil thread.
I had people telling me "don't try to get into game narrative" when I was a jr and times in the industry were GOOD. Trust me, I understand feeling angry with the industry but telling people this kind of thing is both deeply unhelpful and makes you seem sus.
complicated feelings on this because the industry (tbh all industry) is in the Worst Place and finding work and/or money can feel impossible
but even inside that: if someone is telling you to get out of games because there's "no future" here as anything beyond a dark joke, i'd raise an eyebrow
