Well people making games for EA and other top companies often say, when asked, that in general people in the gaming industry that actually design the games really don't make that much. I've heard the mantra "don't get into video games to make money!" very often, so I simply had to ask if ANY of the game designers get payed the big bucks. I would assume if ANY of them managed to get the money out of the hands of the board of directors, it would be Miyamoto, but I'm not sure. Miyamoto really doesn't talk about that. Classy yes, but I want info!
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
