Overview:

The golden age of British video games may be behind us. In this hard-hitting commentary, veteran developer Aleksey Savchenko examines the exodus of experienced game designers from the entertainment sector to more stable careers in defence, government, and simulation industries. From buggy launches and broken production pipelines to short-sighted leadership and failing university pipelines, he outlines how the industry’s talent drain is damaging creativity — and what needs to change to restore quality and innovation.
