    Developers, if you’re serious about making a game, take your ideas, leave the company you work for (before they let you go), and make it alone or with friends and close colleagues.

    People throw this line at devs every time there’s layoffs, and there are a lot lately, but the fact is there just isn’t funding out there right now. To bootstrap that project yourself and hope you make a profit, even with a really good game, is also a huge gamble.
