Otherwise you would have a lot of employees making well over 100,000 per year, possibly upwards of 200,000 and if that is true then I have no sympathy for game makers complaining of high dev costs. |
Salaries are not the only expenses paid by a company. Healthcare, real estate space, support staff, retirement plans, etc. In large companies with good benefits, salaries can make up only 30-50% of the costs. There are a lot of companies where 1 employee really costs the company $200k per yr even with salaries of only 70k
