Bungie was like, so late home last night, so like, Microsoft totally dumped him!

Thats what I was talking about, and basically why I'm undecided about getting into the industry.

I wouldnt mind making 60k a year or even less, as long as I get to work in normal rates...

 

More like the ones who know their s*** well enough and have been around for about 10+ years make 110k.

Maybe get into app programming insted?

Any demanding job is going to require some form of overtime. OT on games is not half bad now a days. You tend to get fed well and get the time back at the end of the project.

For me OT is not half bad because I end up going home and programming anyways. Shocking enough, I've done barely any overtime at my new job (been here for a year) compared to the last place I worked (Studios who do shit GBA/DS games will force far more overtime then just a normal game at a bigger studio).
