I have a friend who was making ~300k at Blizzard (after being there for a while and a number of promotions) working on engines, and another who made quite a bit more then that working on an engine for CoD. The thing is, he likely could have been making 30-50% more if he was working at a FAANG type company in terms of where he'd likely slot in level wise.
