Pretty sure EA games closed up shop in Vancouver. Median salary is $70k for a developer here, usually less for junior devs. Keep in mind you'll be paying at least $15k income taxes so now your salary is $55,000.

Just go through an open source mailing list and find people who seem to know what they are doing. Somewhere they probably have a consultant page, or git profile of work. Done, hire them remotely. If they need extra people tell them to find

Except where I live there is organized phone snatching. A crew of phone hackers hire drug addicts to yoink phones off transit riders and then pay them 10% of the value. They then go to work on the phone changing the IMEI and I would imagine
