Hopefully the game will be better off under Take-Two (I am not familiar with their past treatment of indy-like games like this)
I have read several stories online about how poorly SQUAD treated the core development team of KSP: https://www.develop-online.net/news/squad-devs-blast-kerbal-space-program-studio-for-high-crunch-and-low-pay/0220059 https://www.develop-online.net/news/squad-devs-blast-kerbal-...
- dingo_bat 9y ago$2400 sounds incredibly low even in PPP terms for Mexico.
- crispyambulance 9y agoThat does seem impossibly low. I happen to know that electronics manufacturing techs in Mexico (assembly line work) get the equivalent of $50/week for the lowest rung. To pay the same for high-skill developers/content-creators seems like something has been mis-communicated or maybe a typo. Kerbal Space program has been doing well. I wonder who, exactly, has been raking in all the cash?
- adl 9y agoSoftware developers (.NET and Java) can get between 1,000 - 3,000 dollars a month in Monterrey, Guadalajara or Mexico City. 2,500 yearly salary sounds extremely low. Even interns get paid more that that here.
- Sebguer 9y agoThe guy who was getting paid $2400 wasn't a developer- he was basically their community manager.
- theWatcher37 9y agoI say this as a massive KSP fan with ~1000 hours in it (admittedly a lot lower than others). Almost any level of support will be better than SQUAD. 5 guys working part time on it would yield more features/year than SQUAD has managed to roll out over the years. My only concern is mod support, since that's been the main source of new feature growth.
