Infrastructure freelance gigs in gaming?

I’m a freelancer specialized in „cloud native infrastructure“ and have been a gamer my whole life. My heart bleeds every time a studio butchers they release because „auth servers are down“. I’m curious to know about their challenges and would like to help mainly to get an insight into the industry. Not planing to spend a lot time doing this since I know they don’t pay well anyways.

We could use some help with infra and pay pretty well :) not sure if we're taking freelancers though

Definitely not the kind of job a regular studio would give to a freelancer. Maybe look for some little indie teams advertising for hell.

Right, that’s the thing.. I think the big studios would benefit a lot to have a conversation about modern infrastructure. Not necessarily with me. But that would be an option :)

Big studios either have an it department or are using cloud and have cloud consultants available from the company (amazon, google, foocloud...)
