Yeah. For the first few projects. But they can get back in the saddle fairly quickly. Skillsets are a lot like riding bikes. IRL, don't let the fear of 'loosing' your skill prevent you from pursuing new things.

I don't like not being able to enjoy every element from an MMO, but you can change your specialty. It just takes a bit of work.
