Have you heard this before: "Call me monkey, just gimmie the money" ?

Well, that might not make much sense, so let me put it into context here. Money is very important. More important than job titles and job roles. Heck, money is even more important that your interests! If you're one of the lucky few that actually get to do what you love, and get paid well for it, then congrats Joe Fabulous, but to the rest of us, a supposed 50% pay hike isn't something to scoff at.

Do we really need a "made in M'sia" game? No.

Just like the aviation industry, people in the tech industry really are in a free market. There isn't much in the way of trade barriers to stop the big boys coming in and grabbing all the talent.

But to whine about a company who gives their employee better wages AND working hours is just pathetic. Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

Whatever happened to "garage coders"? M'sia seems to have skipped a step and gone straight into the game studio phase. I think game developers and 3d artists should just go for the big money, and make their own games on the side. That way, they get to earn a decent living, and make the games they really want.

Someone mentioned something about the MMU game design degree. Well, let me ask you this: Do you really think this degree is being offered because someone out there cares about the local gaming industry, or because someone thought that they could make a quick buck off the leigons of cyber cafe zombies leaving highschool?
