looking at #GameDevPaidMe, it's outright appalling how much less we pay artists than engineers for positions. it's inexcusable, and continues to feed toxic narratives that value engineering over art

I don’t think it’s about skill or training, it’s about demand. Engineers are in high demand in so many industries, banking, economics, IT, infrastructure, every flavour of software, game dev has to compete with those. I don’t think the same range of demand exists for artists
It is 100% this 
. It has nothing to do with ‘more difficult technical training’. It takes the same amount of skill, dedication, and thousands & thousands of hours honing your craft for art AND engineering. Engineers get paid more because financial institutions want them too.

Never said their training was more difficult. A lot of people hate mate and technology. A lot of people are not good at it. It's a selective field. Mastering something requires hours of dedication no matter what, but the supply (my point) and demand (his) of engineering is higher
