Uh, as a developer of 13 years who has never been in the gaming industry... I question your generalization. I have never seen or heard of anyone saying game programmers are inferior or clueless in my professional career. Granted, I work in Boston, so things may be different here, but it's really not a characterization I at all recognize.
Yeah, I wouldn't look at someone with big-game-studio experience as an inferior, just perhaps a little naive and might need a little calibration as to what a sustainable work pace actually looks like.
