Well, yeah, I guess that's true.

Games are a fairly high-risk industry; gotta plough in a crapload of 
money, and at the end of it you might not even sell many units if the 
game isn't that great.

More to the point, once the game exists, you can just keep selling and 
selling it for basically no cost. (Think I'm joking? Valve are yelling 
that I can buy Quake 2 for $10 or something now. How many years ago was 
Quake 2??) Those programmers were only hired once, but a huge industry 
is powered by the profits.

Now *that* I won't disagree with at all.

I have no idea where these jobs are, but *I* can't find them...

...are either of those companies still going? I thought Novell went 
under years ago, and RedHat vanished off the face of the earth once they 
realised that trying to sell Linux services isn't profitable.

I did look into a few companies such as IBM, HP, Nokia, etc. But they're 
all based either in London or in other remote areas of the country.
