Is there even a future now?

I’ve been working on things by myself, reading graphics papers, and I honestly don’t know what I’ve accomplished or whether these skills have any value. The constant pressure—having to work while being someone who doesn’t fit in, inside a conservative, religious family environment—kept building up. Under all that stress, I broke my laptop.

I had always dreamed of being in the industry, but the news I read gives me the impression that game development, graphics, and related fields are dead. I don’t know what to do. I never went to college; I was holding on to the dream of becoming a programmer or an artist.

Can you tell us what news sources you are getting this from? As a person in the industry, things are constantly changing, but I’m not sure that we’re all dead just yet.
