2024年游戏开发行业寒冬:裁员潮席卷全球

10 Percent of Game Developers Lost Their Jobs in 2024

2024年对游戏开发者而言并非丰收之年。数据显示,十分之一的开发者遭遇了裁员,无论是大型AAA游戏工作室还是小型独立游戏团队都未能幸免。

Game Developers Conference(GDC)最新发布的“2025年游戏行业现状”报告显示,在接受调查的3000名开发者中,有11%在过去一年里被解雇。如果算上那些虽然保住了工作,但目睹团队成员被裁减的开发者,则高达41%的开发者受到了裁员的影响。这一比例比2023年的35%有所上升,显然,行业形势更加严峻。

更令人担忧的是,58%的受访者表示,他们至少“有点担心”今年还会出现更多裁员。

裁员原因

调查显示,公司主要将裁员归咎于“重组”。换句话说,就是“我们试图赚更多钱,但不会解释具体方法”。其他原因还包括收入下降和市场变化。此外,还有19%的开发者没有得到任何解释,只收到一句“再见,祝你好运!”

一些开发者则指出更深层次的问题,例如:

  • 疫情期间过度扩张(显然,你不能一直招聘)。
  • 生产成本飙升(制作游戏并不便宜)。
  • 玩家兴趣下降(显然,我们不可能每周花20个小时玩游戏)。
  • 对“下一个爆款”的不切实际目标(并非每个游戏都能成为《艾尔登法环》)。
  • 领导层做出了,怎么说呢,一些 questionable 的决策。

受影响的公司

如果您想知道哪些公司裁员最多,微软、索尼、Riot Games、EA、育碧和Epic Games等大公司都在名单上。是的,这包括那些收入数十亿美元的公司。看来,即使是巨额预算也不能保证工作安全。

AI、好莱坞和其他重大变化

裁员并不是让开发者彻夜难眠的唯一因素。报告还发现,人们对生成式AI的担忧日益加剧。只有13%的开发者表示AI对行业产生了积极影响,低于2023年的21%;与此同时,认为AI弊大于利的开发者比例上升至30%,比去年增加了12%。显然,并非所有人都对聊天机器人接管创意工作感到兴奋。

好消息是,好莱坞似乎迷上了游戏。得益于亚马逊的《辐射》和HBO的《最后生还者》等热门作品,越来越多的游戏被改编成电视剧或电影。事实上,13%的开发者表示他们的作品正在被改编成影视作品,高于去年的10%。对于AAA工作室的开发者来说,这一比例高达36%。因此,如果您的最爱游戏还没有成为电视剧,请耐心等待。

TL;DR

  • 2024年出现大规模裁员:11%的游戏开发者失业,41%的开发者受到了某种程度的影响。
  • 公司将责任归咎于“重组”、“市场变化”和“成本上升”,但也有人指出领导层的问题。
  • AI带来的困扰多于兴奋,人们对其对就业和创造力的影响表示担忧。
  • 好莱坞对电子游戏改编的热潮持续升温,尤其是在AAA游戏领域。

希望2025年对游戏开发者更加友好——但如果您是开发者,也许暂时先别收拾办公桌。
