How much do AAA game devs make?

AAA game developers typically earn between $70,000 and $120,000 annually, depending on experience, location, and role. Senior developers and leads can earn significantly more, often exceeding $150,000, especially in major studios or with specialized skills in graphics, programming, or design.

Will game dev be replaced by AI?

Game development is increasingly supported by AI tools that assist with tasks like asset creation, coding, and testing, but human creativity, storytelling, and design remain essential. AI can automate repetitive tasks, allowing developers to focus on complex aspects, but it is unlikely to fully replace game developers in the near future. Skills in programming, design, and understanding player experience are still critical for success in the field.

Is 30 too old to start game development?

Starting a career as a weekend game developer at age 30 is feasible, as the industry values skills, creativity, and experience over age. Many successful developers begin later in life, often bringing valuable perspectives and prior technical or artistic skills that can contribute to game development projects.
