These look high, from my perspective in Toronto, Canada. That said, I've only worked at smaller studios. The two large studios near Toronto, Rockstar, and Koei are famously secretive. My experience in Toronto has been that at most companies you take a salary hit versus non-game-programming, because of the sexiness of the field, and the small industry here.
