    Underpaying and taking advantage of your staff is not a good way to make great games.

    What do you mean? You can still make great games. The pay has nothing to do with the quality or greatness of games.

    If the people who actually work on the games at ground level feel taken advantage of, because they're not being paid for the hours they put in, they probably won't put as much effort into their jobs as they would otherwise. They'll feel more justified in slacking off or cutting corners, which will result in games of lesser quality than could have been achieved otherwise, and may put back a release date if too many people do it.

    Why is the source sending me to a page on internet bullying that was done on Neoseeker. A thread you did Deis actually.

    Actually no; your article didn't show up when I submitted because the titles were so different. I didn't see it until afterwards.
