@blaznwiipspman1: not really. The average salary for california is 63k you can find that particular stat on google. so these guys are making the average wage of most Californians. They are quite literally making a middle class income and bitching about it.....
theres a lot of places in cali...if you average out compton with sanfran, then yeah the average is going down
Blizzard might have the name, but they are no longer the company that people fell in love with all those years back, the days of wc1 and 2. They are a shell, a fake. I don't know how the hell they were able to be bought out by activision all those years ago when they were literally raking in the $$$, but this is another example of never going public, unless the majority stake is in the hands of a few founders, or only if you absolutely have no choice. Valve remains private, and they are doing amazing.
The best thing that happened to this FAKE blizzard was icefrog screwing them over and selling out to valve. If not for that we would not have dota 2, or otherwise we would be playing $30 a month to play the damn game.
I will never buy another blizzard game. So my last words to the fake blizzard is to piss off.
This is why I support Nintendo. They treat their employees well. They don't even force deadlines. That Xenoblade dude stated he was shocked when Nintendo didn't care if he finished his game on time, they just wanted it to be quality. He said it was a nightmare working for SquareEnix.
How many here would be happy to make 60K per year i wonder? you can find the spreadsheet mentioned above at the below link for the curious it appears with few exceptions that is the average salary. Point of note is the average american makes $51,600 a year
Free f*cking enterprise, your value in the professional world is worth what someone is willing to pay you. If you think you can do better than move on down the road, no one’s stopping you.
that doesnt work when the company hires indians for pennies on the dollar. Funny, corporations and those executives don't have to compete because of all the government protections...but when it comes to the little guy, the actual employee, then outsourcing to middle of bumfuk india is fine. How about we get rid of patents, trademarks, intellectual property rights and let the free market do its thing? The customer would all be the winners, the losers would be those CEOs
@tanzel: Kotick doesn't rule the entire industry. And as Pyrosa stated, employees don't have to give up their careers. They can even work at nearby Riot Games which apparently offers very significant pay increases.
That really is the best way to effect change. If no one wants to work for Blizzard, they can't make games and earn profits. They would be forced to increase pay to remain competitive.
the issue is, when these employees leave, blizzard goes over and hires people from india for $10 an hour. Thats the status quo lol...
halo infinite lol..it looks like halo reach, which looked like halo 4, which looked like halo 3 and which looked like halo 2....they really need to change the game engine. Its dated
