It seems like the only hope for recent CS grads of ever getting a job is to start there own game companies.

This is genuinely something I've been struggling with for the last four or five years. I graduated in 2020 and spent 2 years living with my parents looking for work, which I found at a mindless data entry position only to get laid off 1.5 years later when the company - surprise! - slashed 25% of its workforce to reduce costs.
Meanwhile it seems like indie devs are having a lot of fun (those of them who aren't fags, at least) and they have roughly equivalent or better odds of making it big with some memetic idea.

@Hephaestic Just find some dead genre to revive, spread the word on various gaming forums, create something, and hope for the best.
One of my resolutions this year is to get serious about video game development and actually try crossing that line. Worries about becoming a starving artist don't apply when everyone is being starved and frozen out of everything.
