- eropple 7y agoThere's high supply of "technology people" in the space because a lot of people want to make games, but you have to remember that not everybody who works at a game developer is a programmer. An artist being asked to crunch for $45K a year and who doesn't have too many other options deserves some representation, too.
- falcolas 7y agoWhen there's tens of thousands new college graduates applying for 10 positions (and willing to work for $20,000 a year because OMGVIDEOGAMES), any single individual's negotiation power is pretty close to zero, even should they have capital-T Talent.
- ThrowawayR2 7y agoThere's a lot of semi- or non-technical roles, like art, audio, and QA, in the games industry.
