<p>Let me clarify. Game <em>design</em> is competitive. The designer is the guy who is super creative and thinks up what the game is going to be about and designs (sketches out) the game mechanics and the game visual style and the game world and the game storyline (if there’s a story). Those positions are competitive because there are very few such positions and they usually go to people with lots of experience (why would they trust someone out of college to design games? You might be the assistant to a game designer, though). Other game jobs are not going to be competitive.</p>
