how do you all feel about the job safety for software engineers in gaming companies like riot, blizzard, niantic going to be in this situation? i am currently considering interviewing for these companies and i feel that they are relatively safe considering everyone is staying at home. current tc: 150k and stock options yoe: 4.5
Epic is safe thanks to fortnite. WoTC is cooking up an interactive DnD thanks to the success of fifth edition. Niantic is going down hard - Pokemon go is unity engine trash. Riot gets a lot of turnover. Blizzard is solid, Valve is golden, stay away from EA
Pokemon GO is doing fine actually. We have play-at-home features. Our numbers are looking good.
