I'm sure the sound director or hit detection promgrammer who worked endless hours to give the guy the opporunity to make that money is enjoying his 40k a year job.

Think again.

Programmers make much more than 40k a year and have the opportunity to move up to bigger positions. 

Okay so £40k ($66 CAN) is maybe a bit little but even then, most skilled labour position dream of making £40k. Quick search seems that about £50k - £60k seems to be about right. This is high end of the IT industry (an industry filled with inflated salaries). But it's still not half a million pounds.
