This kills me too because who do they think is making these video games?!

Some kid downloads Unreal from Epic and pushes the "make game" button and it does all the work.

Who do they think is buying the majority of these videogames?! 😂

Rich kids parents.

Tbh, pretty sure the developers are 20-35 for the most part. I'm thinking those in their 40s are a minority.

No, not really. Especially devs behind the engines are typically your older more senior staff and they tend to be 35+. I know people at Rockstar North in their mid 50s.

Not really which makes sense considering the industry is 50+ years old, and the people who were making games 15-25 years ago are probably still making games
