Wages & Income
Game job salaries depend largely on the length of
time you've been employeed along with your position. For example, if you
are a head programmer you will make more than just an entry-level
programmer.
Game designers
make between $40,000 and $90,000 a year. Design a mega-hit game and it
will be a lot more than that! Your past successes play a big role in
what you can make. Top game designers make hundreds of thousands of
dollars a year and get royalties from their hit games.
Game programmers
make roughly between $50,000 to $100,000 a year. This is about the same
as the average pay for a programmer in the United States.
Game artists make between $40,000 and $70,000 a year. For an artist, thats great pay!
All these wages are based off of working for someone else. If you develop your own games or start your own game company, you can make millions. The oppurtunities for big money still exist, especially in the new mobile games market. |
