The games business in the UK is well-known throughout the world, supports 76,000 jobs, and is estimated to be worth £6 billion annually to the country’s economy.
It is also a sector that is experiencing a crisis.
Studios have closed and thousands of people have lost their employment globally during the past 18 months.
Large companies like Microsoft and Sony, both of which fired hundreds of employees in 2024, have received a lot of attention.
However, smaller studios are also having difficulty.
Greg Lee adds, “It’s not great and I think it’s pretty obvious.”
Currently, every industry is having difficulty. However, funding is declining since no one wants to take a chance at this time. As a result, many studios are suffering greatly.
Greg is the creator of Team Terrible, the indie horror game that went viral and became popular, The Baby in Yellow.
It has been downloaded millions of times and is described as a “Lovecraftian babysitting game.”.
Since then, Team Terrible has relocated to a location on the riverfront in Dundee, which is a popular spot for game makers.
It was developed by 4J Studios, which was successful in creating mobile and console versions of Minecraft.
The Scottish city is home to Grand Theft Auto and has a long history in the gaming industry. If you’ve heard of this before, stop listening.
