My buddy worked for Ubisoft Montreal. They paid him $48k CAD/year as an experienced developer. Only 2 weeks of PTO for the whole year (including sick leave). 60+ hour weeks. Required a whole CS degree.
AND FOR WHAT?
The gaming industry has treated their workforce very badly and yet they are still attracting the best because it remains a "dream job" for many. I remember reading somewhere that the same kind of thing happens with airplane pilots.
People are too eager so employers abuses them... Its a shiti job like any other, people should start acting like it.
You are trading your time for money, I am not sure when slaving become a badge of honor. Focus that energy on family and friends ie shit that actually matters.
I guess ophan crushing machine knows how programs its slaves.
