From what I've heard, being a dev for video games is HARD work and they work many long hours to make those crazy deadlines. I also get that many of them work on projects they may not personally like, either. Such as if you didn't like horror games or the horror genre overall but that's the project you're assigned to, you may just have to deal with it either way.

Plus, it's a VERY competitive field on top of that. So I can still see the pluses and minuses when it comes to working in that industry.
