Do I need a diploma to enter Gamedev?

In one of the articles in February this year, I asked the CTO, CEO and Project Manager the question: " Is a higher education in IT obligatory ?" Then it turned out to collect a wide range of opinions, which in general developed into the fact that "no, not necessarily." Just before the official start of the worldwide pandemic.

The IT industry, given the unexpected coronavirus crisis, and the economic downturn that followed, turned out to be one of the most promising and fastest growing industries in 2020.

For example, after the Second World War in the United States, the most popular films were not films about the war and the heroic landing in Normandy, or about the treachery of the Japanese in the Pearl Harbor, but cartoons, musicals and comedies. This is how the compensatory mechanisms of the human psyche worked - people did not want reality and the recent past. They wanted fairy tales, fun, silly stories, comedies and melodramas. Love, laughter, fun. People want to restore the internal balance of libido-mortido in the classical sense.

So now the gaming industry is waiting for during the second half of the crisis and after it an unprecedented rise. Natural escapism has not been canceled.
