Still hobbies != work , just having fun => no money, having fun while working => better job, but it still when you work you must get paid. Whatever you throw at me you can't null the fact that work means that you get paid too.
Media Molecule devs are getting paid...
This shows how biased and paranoia you are.
A recent headline:
"Microsoft To Give Students Dev Software For Free" (2008) This package includes XNA Game Studio, which is very high level and locked to Microsoft platforms.
Even the head of Lionhead, a company bought out by Microsoft acknowledged XNA is not the road to follow for professional games development.
There are many similar university related headlines. Maybe instead of me being paranoid maybe you are being blind?
Show me game that uses SPUs for most of its AI. As far I have seen games that use poor PPU only for AI.
For example Heavenly Sword, the thousands of onscreen warriors are handled by a SPU. Like the game or not, Lair's AI was running completely on SPU(s).
The PPU isn't poor, if you move near all the major workload onto the SPEs, there's more than enough resources left for the PPU to handle amazing AI as well.
Btw, how much you get paid for defending SONY?
I am a technology enthusiast, Sony could have been Philips or Panasonic, all things equal, it would not matter to me. I never owned a PS2 for example.
So taking your logic and applying it, what does Microsoft pay you?
