Oh, really? I haven't followed this kind of stuff in a while. So they're good now?
How would they rank for software development, in general? Game studios are notoriously subpar when you start comparing them to FAANG, big enterprise sotware development shops, etc.

It's supply and demand: lots of people want to build games for the sake of building games. At least in theory it sounds more exciting than maintaining whatever microservice for a FAANG. So, because there's a lot more supply than demand, they get paid less.
