Letsdance, his production roles would be paid at a rate comparable to the industry standard for those roles. That's about $90k per year. So if he was part of the team full time for 3 years, that's only $270k. His voice acting portion would take up far less time yet pay perhaps a little more total.

All in all, I'm quite certain he wasn't paid more than $1 million for his entire contribution to the game. And I'd wager it was probably closer to $750k.

Thank you.  I asked someone else in the industry for their opinion, but your that guy who talks to industry people right?  And did those roundtable discussions back when those happened?

You're welcome.  I plan to ask Tameem about it all this so hopefully we'll have less speculation and more truth to work with real soon.
