These guys get paid jack shit until they hit the associate producer level (and get royalties) though, no matter what the job. I was looking into a network engineering position at a gaming company at one point and they wanted to pay me almost 25k under market, just for the honor of working there. I told 'em no thanks.

Ubisoft was bad like that, you sign a contract forbidding you to tell your co-workers how much youre getting paid. Everything you do at the computer while on the job (even on a lunchbreak) is theirs. They would pay QA minimum wage and did some psyops of giving us fruit on wednesday, everybody was like yea give us a decent wage well buy our own fucking fruits. EA and other game companies decide to set up shop in Montreal and suddenly they feel generous and give us a 1.50$ an hour wage.
They would try to force us to do overtime by trying to make us feel about "2 or 3 people carrying the whole team". Made an 80hour week on one close to gold occasion, shit was ridiculous people where falling asleep at their workdesk.
