Welcome to white collar america programmers. It sorta sucks but at least you can afford a boat you never use and a house for your ex-wife to raise your kids. Si

  If you take out the boat and house, sure. Most game developers I know working in the bay area don't make six figures.

    No, they make like $95,000 which is only five figures.

  I see that trend in a lot of occupations. My father was a union Electrician and never turned down overtime. Well he got everything he wanted, but he didn't value his family or friends. It was all about the job.(He took it very seriously). He took an early retirement because he could, but soon afterwards learning that no one was waiting for his company--he wished he didn't put so much energy into his job. He died a few years into retirement--very bitter. Yes--I tried to be a good son, but I really didn't like the person he became; I tried to bring him into my life, but nothing ever worked out between us. He changed when he got sick, and wished he didn't live for future, and treated his kids with honest love(at least I want to think he made a effort?)

  > Welcome to white collar america programmers. Nope. At least in white collar America professionals demand fair compensation for intense work. Gamers, on the other hand, are not behaving rationally and demanding appropriate compensation or the right work environment. Instead, they're unprofessionally stuck in a teenager's mentality that working in gaming is somehow amazing and fun.
