This book follows essentially the same structure as Schreier's fascinating Blood， Sweat， and Pixels， in that every chapter follows different developers and ill-fated studios through their inception to their bitter end。 The themes of each story （and arguably most of Schreier's work in general） are the same: people who work in games are in a precarious and ever-shifting industry， and there are much-needed safeguards we should be pursuing as a society to prevent companies from treating their worker This book follows essentially the same structure as Schreier's fascinating Blood， Sweat， and Pixels， in that every chapter follows different developers and ill-fated studios through their inception to their bitter end。 The themes of each story （and arguably most of Schreier's work in general） are the same: people who work in games are in a precarious and ever-shifting industry， and there are much-needed safeguards we should be pursuing as a society to prevent companies from treating their workers like garbage。 I appreciated that the last chapter or so acted as a wrap-up， with speculation about what kinds of changes might actually create a meaningful impact for those who work in gaming。 。。。more

Read a galley of this。A well-written shakedown of what’s wrong with the game development industry。 This dream that many have had of making video games for a living is more likely to lead to job hopping， being broke， depression， and instability than shipping a blockbuster game series。Schreier second book about game development is really great， but on the more upsetting side compared to his excellent Blood， Sweat and Pixels。
