[QUOTE="widderslainte, post: 169910, member: 1466"] I don't think you'll get too many arguments (around here) that game designers shouldn't be well paid. I think some of the disbelief surrounding salaries of people in the industry is because the people on these boards seem the value in their work. That being said, there are a lot of people in our society who should be paid more than they are (like teachers). Plenty of people make sacrifices to do work they love - actors, musicians, archaeologists :) , writers in other fields. But there are plenty of crappy starving artists that don't deserve to be paid a decent salary for full-time work. I wish I could get back all the dollars I've spent on lousy RPG books and give it to the good writers. I would rather have some of prestige classes on these boards published than half of what I've seen in published books. I'm hoping the internet and promise of pdf sales will allow more people to get their work out. [/QUOTE]
