A genuine cubicle like that would be a luxury

I don't know. My first job was in a cubicle and it was in the middle of a large floor. There wasn't any natural light and the cubicles spread in all directions for what felt like forever. Like, its nice to have your personal space but it sucks to have the hours blend together because you're in a liminal space where you can't tell if you're alive or dead.

I had a QA position at a game company and there weren't any windows on the open dev floor, only the break room and lobby. On top of that, they kept us testers in a freezing/sweaty separate room. Crunch dinners in that cramped hell were so fragrant.

It was interesting, but never again.

Yeah, that sounds awful too. I never hear good things about the game industry.
