IGN Talks Games Industry Salaries

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-just-monopoly-money dept.

WeebMac writes "IGN has a new career-themed section and one of their first stories is about the earning potential available to those who make their careers in the gaming industry. From TFA, 'Beginning programmers, whether you're working on tools, gameplay, networking, audio, AI, or animation, you can expect to start off with a salary in the area of $60K with the potential for more in the way of sales-based royalties or bonuses or stock options depending on the particular company you've been hired by."

    you're a fucking twat. Go throw yourself off a damn bridge.

    If his hobby is playing games then his hobby is playing games. It's not important how much paper he gets given later in life for it. If you're that fucking blind please do as I stated above. His happiness is second to how much money he earns?

    You're an asshole. If you gave a fuck about your kids you wouldn't be pissed at him for doing what he enjoyed, instead you get annoyed because GASP he has a hobby. Next time you look at him playing games just think "He's not drinking, smoking crack or knocking girls up". Maybe "silly video games" arn't quite the devil.

    And just to point out : You're an asshole.
