[QUOTE="Monte At Home, post: 345106, member: 1335"] That's a joke, right Doug? I mean, the game industry is no place to make your fortune, but do you honestly mean to say that you think publishers are making less than freelance writers? Here's my take on things: A real high-quality, fast-working, in-demand freelance artist--say, like Arne Swekle or Wayne Reynolds--can make a lot more than a high-quality, fast-working, in-demand freelance writer in the same time period. A lot more. I suspect that beginning artists and writers probably make around the same in the same time period. And as far as publishers go, my own financial situation is a LOT better since I publish my own stuff, rather than simply working for what other publishers would pay me--and I'll be honest, most pay me better than they pay the average writer. I have trouble imagining that other publishers (with lots of successful titles) are making less than writers. I could be wrong, however. [/QUOTE]
