Losses due to better tools making game development easier. It wasn't unique to the gaming sector- everywhere the tech industry experienced layoffs. Things are getting better automated. Nintendo for 100% sure isn't struggling when even their bad games sell so well.

Edit: Lol guy posted and blocked, somehow thinks software development is a continuous process of reinventing the wheel. Libraries get more features, tools are made to make things easier. Whether a company reinvests that time into adding new features is up to the company, but things are getting more and more automated. Software engineers check google before creating something from the ground up.

Game development is not easier, and definitely not automated in the slightest.

In fact, methodology has only become harder over the last decade. Every new AI or procedural tool baked into programs like Painter3D, Houdini or Zbrush is half useful on implementation, and you have to learn 5 new optimization techniques to stay ahead.

Please take your head out your ass and clean the shit out of your eyes.

Not easier... sure thats why they rent game engines. Totally not to save costs and totally not convenient to have people trained from one project to the next with minimized learning curve. Totally useless features that would be faster and easier to make by hand or after developing an engine to then do the same thing.

Studios have started adopting Unreal Engine because it is a catch-all toolkit that is absolutely bloated with features.

Developers still use proprietary engines all the time because that has its own set of drawbacks.

It has literally nothing to do with training, and using Unreal Engine 5 does not make game dev easier in the slightest.

As someone with unreal training if anything it makes game dev harder for most projects because it's so bloated. One of the biggest issues with modern unreal games is optimization, because the engine insists on using super processor heavy tools for things like lighting and doesn't let you turn individual features off. It's either you leave everything enabled or disabled with little wiggle room in-between.
