Do you think that will change anytime soon? (Gaming)

That's kind of a larger problem in the industry, is it not? When people grow older and want to actually live life and have families and stuff, they can't because it's crunch time all the time and the games industry is so demanding. So you don't often see older developers, which is why Ben was so shocked even though none of them are particularly old.

That's definitely an issue of how AAA games are made currently. It seems like it's always push, push, push, and then if you're lucky you still have a job when the game is shipped. I don't have any reason to think so, but it seems like that's got to change in the near future.

We've seen the trend of half-baked, half-finished, broken games being shipped (Street Fighter V being the most recent example), and that can only last for so long before people get wise (in a perfect world anyway; people are dumb and keeping buying this shit, so maybe it'll just continue), and I'm not sure if that's a product of the unstable industry or if it's just exclusively publisher greed.
