if you include the small studios, sure.
if you are focused on the big AAA studios like most of this topic is, I would doubt it. Blizzard may not be paying Google money, but the engineers there aren't making peanuts either.

If you don't get paid anywhere near FAANG salary then you're probably making the same as what you could make as a game developer...
You should stop jumping to conclusions. Nothing I said indicated I don't take responsibility for that decision. I can choose not to take a job because of crappy pay, but I can still point out why the job has crappy pay (and the reason is not me).

I don't get paid anywhere near FAANG salary, but I bet I get paid more per hour than most game devs.
