You should take some personal responsibility and stop blaming your life choices on other people. There's also a world of difference between saying that a FAANG salary isn't the most important part of a job for some people, and saying people in game dev shouldn't have a good salary.

> You should take some personal responsibility and stop blaming your life choices on other people. You should stop jumping to conclusions. Nothing I said indicated I don't take responsibility for that decision. I can choose not to take a job because of crappy pay, but I can still point out why the job has crappy pay (and the reason is not me). > There's also a world of difference between saying that a FAANG salary isn't the most important part of a job for some people, and saying people in game dev shouldn't have a good salary. I don't get paid anywhere near FAANG salary, but I bet I get paid more per hour than most game devs.

  >I don't get paid anywhere near FAANG salary, but I bet I get paid more per hour than most game devs. if you include the small studios, sure. if you are focused on the big AAA studios like most of this topic is, I would doubt it. Blizzard may not be paying Google money, but the engineers there aren't making peanuts either.

Fuck off with this take. The parent poster blamed nothing on someone else. They made their life choice based on an evaluation of the conditions they would be working under and the types of people they would be working with. They fully owned the decision, and understanding who your peers would be is not at all unreasonable.
