Subject: Burnout? 2004-02-20 - By Matthew Allen
Back
I really can't give you numbers (I don't think anyone keeps
track, or to be honest who would you keep track) and burnout means
different things to different people. I personally in 9 years of working
in games have only ever seen 1 person leave the entire industry because
they had had enough. I have seen many people change the types of games
or content they are working on, and I personally make sure that, to the
best of my ability, I let people on my team work on as many different
things as they are interested in. I think a sure fire way to burn people
out is to have them working on the same thing (say modeling hands) over
and over again for years. This will kill production and morale in a
heartbeat.
The best analogy is framers planting the same crop in the same
soil over and over again, sooner or later the crop fails because its
pretty much leached the soil dry.
