The comment your replied to make it clear they find game programming interesting and they have a passion for it.
What on earth does making the same wage have to do with it?
If we can make a liveable wage doing what we enjoy, there are scores of people that couldn't care less about a massive wage.
- coldtea 6y ago>What on earth does making the same wage have to do with it? The fact that, on Earth, passion only gets you so far. And it can easily wane off, given bad circumstances. And of course, on Earth at least, (a) "passion to create AAA games" is not the same as (b) "passion to be an employee on a AAA game company, with impossible schedules, idiotic management, unpaid overtime, and lower salary that I could get elsewhere". In the end, whatever their passion, the AAA game developer is just a cog in a team (the head / driver of the team would be 1 in 20 or 1 in 50 devs).
