Sit in a cube doing beige business-logic day after day in a tie...that sounds much less exciting...obviously it'll pay more because given the choice everyone is choosing game development.
- _aavaa_ 4y agoYes, getting away with it. If there were 100x fewer people who could do those roles, the fact that they still loved doing them had nothing to do with how much they were paid. Simply adding more candidates to the job pool does not magically make each person's contribution to the company worth less, they're still doing the same work. It's just that the business can get away with paying less since there are more people available, some number of which are willing to accept that lower amount. Again, there's no law of the universe that say more applicants = lower pay, or more pleasant working condition = lower pay. That is a choice businesses make. One made for the benefit of the company at the expense of its employees.
