I applied for a job there and hybrid wasn't even on the table.

Then my application wouldn't be on the table.

I need at least two days remote to get anything done. If they can't offer that, I can't offer my application.

You are lucky that you have the option to be so picky in the games industry.

They wisely didn't have that bit on the requirements. Just something vague about how they value home life balance, and would accommodate remote work.

The trick is, I'm not in the games industry, mostly because of this nonsense. I'm a software developer, so I have a wider range of jobs I can apply for.

If the games industry was more employee fee friendly, I'd probably work in it. But it's not, so I don't.

Same here. I'm lucky that I have some good friends who work in it, but every time there has been something remotely interesting, the difference in salary with boring dev jobs has been just too fucking much :/
