Wages and benefits for some game positions such as Unity games developers, 2D/3D game designers are skyrocketing. The war for talent has gone beyond compensation and benefits. Companies have to pay attention to employees’ engagement, employees’ personal growth, and employer branding. Some companies struggle to fight against competition as they are seeing themselves in a situation that lacks resources.
In this situation, many gaming companies consider the option to outsource a part of their games creation such 2D/3D design, animation and VFX to outsourcing studios.
