An article i recently came across was about how statistics show that 40% of the UK's game based studios have been laid off from the time of 2008 and in the awakening have travelled overseas to the U.S. and even Canada to work in the games industry, coming across this has not only opened my eyes to the fact that studios are getting rid of people which may at a slim chance open up roles to my liking but also the fact that seeking a role within the games industry, depending on surrounding studios isn't always the best choice as stated from this extract of the article i read:
"Tiga also claims that Bizarre Creations – the Liverpool studio which closed down 2010 – had a third of its staff quit the UK to find a new games industry job.
Tiga, which continues to campaign for games industry tax break initiatives, says the main destination for such developers was the US and Canada."
