its been bad for animators for years now, this doesnt change much to be honest.

Working on realistic games can be a bit demorilising for animators as cleaning and editing mo-cap data isnt exactly the greatest animation job in the world. It was the case a couple years back that no matter what you at least had the facial animation to fall back on as an animator but now thats pretty much gone with tech like this.....

so if you want to be keyframe animating you pretty much need to find cartoon work but as i said its pretty much been like this for a couple years now anyway...
