@TymeMaster: Any big game company is a "sweatshop"...you will be working mad hours at any one of them especially close to a deadline.
Not true, when I did games for Disney it wasn't. But in general game developers make far less than app developers, for example working at adobe was well into six figures.

So true... and especially so when working for Disney
It's mainly down to how game companies have to cost things. They bid for a contract at ridiculously low prices and tight deadlines to get the work ahead of other companies.
Then they realise they don't have enough money to hire enough staff to complete the contract on time.
Which means the staff they *do* hire work twice as hard as they should to get things done on time and on budget.
THEN the staff that worked their asses off to make the game get made redundant at the earliest possible opportunity.
It's what inspired my business partner and I to do things differently with QS - we've seen how 'not' to do it too many times
Yup, that's why i went freelance. The very notion of working people like that makes me rage! Shallow scum mother$13$#@%!~!~!!!!
Also, don't forget that all the people who pour their creative sweat into making a product awesome are not the ones who get to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Variable Data Printing and Graphic Design Work(For a Print Company and freelance). Having a baby soon(like really soon) so I hope to start making a few more apps to subsidize my income.
Thanks for the feedback MotherHoose:) Planing to write an diabetic-vegetarian cookbook? Not many out there (maybe theres a reason for that). Good luck on your games ( working on 2 myself, ADHDlite).
Hi guys, I'm a 3d artist, XSI being the main tool and I also I'm doing some 2d compositing using Fusion. I've worked on TV Commercials and on GameCinematics.
I ask because I keep telling the Gendai guys that I love their software because a grandmother will probably come along at some point and use it to make the greatest game ever

Software IS NOT factory work. Always get a %

And it's perfectly plausible thanks to how easy GS is to use!
