US developer pay is easily 2-3x that of our Western European counterparts. The gap widens tremendously as you move further East in Europe and especially into the middle east, Asia and SE Asia. But you get American developers (myself included) coming out of the woodwork to defend that.
Comparing the President of a Japanese video game company to the CEO of major American healthcare organization with ~6-7x the revenue isn't really an apt comparison, is it?
- derstander 3y ago> Comparing the President of a Japanese video game company to the CEO of major American healthcare organization with ~6-7x the revenue isn't really an apt comparison, is it? Why wouldn’t it be? And if it’s not, how about a comparison between Sony and KP? Sony’s revenue in 2022 was $88B (though with a much larger net of $6.7B instead of KP’s $0.9B). Sony’s CEO was paid $4.4M. https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/FY2022_20F_PDF.pdf https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/FY2022_20F_PDF.p... I also think spinning Nintendo as simply a Japanese video game company undersells their global presence as well as the fact that they build hardware in addition to software. My guess is that Nintendo or Sony have a much greater global presence than KP though I certainly could be wrong.
