Depends on the shop.

I've seen video game studios which essentially have a single wunderkind who has to dabble in everything because no one else reaches his or her skill level. No other industry has low pay and crunch

Just like some companies in different industries where some dev need to understand design, front end, backend, database, QA, devops, etc.

> No other industry has low pay and crunch

I wasn't talking about the workload or low salaries. I was talking about the statement that "video game programming" as a discipline is the most difficult of all.

If someone's going to offer me $150,000 to do a job, I'm going to find it much easier than if I'm only offered $75,000.

And plus I started my statement with "I find" , if you happen to program quantum systems and that's 10 times as difficult compared to writing a game engine in CPP, that's cool
