Age Discrimination Is A Problem For Games Developers

Making a living as a games developer is challenging — but the strange thing is that it becomes more challenging the longer you do it. Mark over at Kotaku has a great and detailed examination of the problem of ageism in the games industry.

Experience, it turns out, is both a blessing and a curse — some studios won’t hire you because you’re too expensive, and 20-somethings aren’t always comfortable working with someone twice their age. It’s a good read and well worth your time.
