This is the page of my lucky number! Totally irrelevant to its iconic history in the very popular book Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy! It's just a coincidence! Also Squadron 42!

Dunno personally, because I've not even considered applying for a job there (I'd have to be *very* desperate, and that's just talking about living in Manchester...  )Just digging around on TCE at the moment. I've dragged up one possible pay point for the Santa Monica studio, $85k for a graphics coder (2016), dunno if thats good or bad as I'm UK based.

One good thing to come out of this retarded anthill being kicked over is that thousands of players will finally shut up about Elite Dangerous being the great satan in comparison to their personal dream game they've imagined and they might actually give it a try.

Not sure what a graphics coder would get these days but about 10 years ago it was more like £30-35k, highest I ever heard for similar work was £48k but that guy had awesomely specific qualifications that defied belief. It certainly doesn't sound very industry average to me, but I'm way out of date on that stuff nowadays.

This along with NMS tanking has really turned around people expectations. Its not just dreams anymore, people have to actually judge something on its actual content. It also helps that FD have added a lot of content over the last few years.

In the post where it was mentioned, the poster did'nt think it was that great. Maybe the cost of living there is higher perhaps. £67k is a damned decent UK games dev wage. I'm pretty close to 48k myself, so Hell if F42 was paying that sort of salary I'd consider it...

It also helps that FD have added a lot of content over the last few years. We can only speculate at how many people are refusing to play Elite Dangerous because it is "THE ENEMY" that threatens their dream. The crazier people target Derek Smart but I think the less crazy true believers will target a competing product like elite way easier than that. It's kind of the same thing as people refusing to patronize a competing sports team due to a rivalry, and then the spectrum of crazy that leads to a cymelion hiding in a reporter's garbage cans because he posted a negative article about his team. Most of those people would just shut up and watch the other team if their team was disbanded.

That's about what you'd expect for software engineers with 0-3 years of experience in Texas, which has a lot lower cost of living than Santa Monica, so it sounds pretty low.

But Hello Games is literally a 30 man studio, so the game cost absolutely gently caress all to develop comparatively. Most of the hype seemed to be generated by the mentally ill taking bullshots at face value, so I don't think the advertising budget would've been that high either. Sean Murray might have screwed his reputation, but I doubt his bank balance is complaining.

I wouldn't blame you at all given the industries historic record for being poo poo at paying fair rates, it does seem high and only those who don't wish to enjoy life turn down good money.  Kudos for landing yourself a respectable wage in the industry, when I was training in basically "Babys first code" the pay over a long career looked really crap, so I bowed out and changed direction TheLightPurges posted:85k in Southern California is more like 50-55ish in actual America. theres a reason disco is a grey haired old man and lives roomies. Ah, so I guess it's inclusive of things like medical insurance and all the other odd employee expenses. $55k in British sterling would be £43,407. (Todays exchange rate is £1 = $1.27 apparently)

Chrobbers, Mark Hamill and John Rhys Davies interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsPlxPyGl1g Highlights of hand waving, redoing the mo-cap headsets and dreams. at 13:40 they are asked how CR has changed as a director since the wing commander game.
