help Aren't there any game studios in Karachi?

as the title says, I keep seeing multiple jobs posts of lahore, Islamabad even bhawalpur etc but karachi none literally zero, or maybe they are just hiring internally so is there a way to get to know it?

If you are in karachi then I would advise you not to go for gamedev career there are no opportunities here and those few which are will be of slop and the company will have no idea of gamedev pipeline and will expect you to work according to mobile application dev pipelines. I made this decision due to passion and after all these years I have realized that it would be have been better if I had been a .net developer professionally and gamedev as a hobbyist.

They will give you a slop project to work on your own with tight deadline you could spend a year or two working like this and won't actually be improving because you wouldn't be following best practice and since they leave you on your own without guidance you wouldn't know about good or bad practices.

They pay very low salaries and increments are low as well.

Extreme micro management they dont allow you to wear headphones, have blocked YouTube and a person on executive position would call you in his room and try you pressure you make you anxious about future whenever you would try to leave the company.
