> if you tell people you work in games you are met with a response that you basically play all the time and are not serious,

That was how people responded when I told them I worked I was a game dev ~20 years ago too.

That's was how they paid our measly tiny salaries when I was a game dev. And worked us 80 hours a week. "You should be happy! People would love your job! You get to play video games all day!"

I hired someone I disliked from high school as a QA because I knew how horrible that job is. Even worse paid than development and you get to play the same level four hundred times in a row.

Can you believe we get paid to do this?
