Game hiring was starting to look like it was getting better in the second half of the year. But Amir Satvat, the job resource aggregator who knows this space, said that it looks like hiring has slowed.

In a post on LinkedIn, Satvat said that the number of available roles has declined more than anticipated, dropping from 14,691 to 12,666 over the last three months. While some of this is due to roles being filled, Satvat’s estimates indicate that a significant portion is also due to a slowdown in hiring.
