Having a majority of staff in the UK is going to help them out going forward too. £44.5k with 20% UK tax rebate and 1.25 dollar exchange rate puts it at $44.5k for a UK employee in 2017. While that looks really good on paper, it looks like poo poo in their video game or non-existent as far as Squadron 42 is concerned and that was supposed to be what the UK company is producing so...

I'd imagine their US employees probably get paid a bit more. Game dev avg salary in the US is like 85k, artist is like 75k. Who knows maybe it's all unpaid interns now lol.

Hello Commandos

To be fair would anyone else in the universe have negotiated a price of $10,000 for boxes of old poo poo the guy two doors down in the office didn't want that represented the history of the game they were both working on at the time of purchase?

Only Ben could have struck that deal

To be honest, any number of devs they claim to have above one would be a surprise at this point. A lot of artists of varying levels of experience, I'd believe any number they say. The US had been home to the support, community managers, masters of ships, editors. Not a great deal of evidence for devs in any of the studios though so who knows?

I tried to do a best case scenario and what I came up with was they must have spent at the very least $138m to the middle of June 2017. Some $7m of that would be from HMRC with $131m from their fundraising. It is amusing to point out that it is basically triple the development budget of The Witcher 3 and there really is nothing of substance to show for it.

The game had characters for Croberts and Sandi, so I would not be surprised if that is supposed to be ben. Plus the "Inspired by Ben Lesnick" makes me think that too.
