Game devs get paid shit wages, so honestly it could be a good thing that those jobs are "gone". Just feed the marketing and management people their slop and take the paycheck home.
If you really want to be a game dev and not sell your soul for no pay then being an indie dev is really the only way to go. But that also requires having a good idea, beating your soul to death for a few years, then maybe you can cash out.
Yeah, it's a real gamble. Most indie games fail.
