I do want point out that it's unfair to respond to a pay disparity conversation by saying "The 22 year old handling the company’s twitter account does not deserve to make the same amount of money as the lead sound designer" because NO ONE IS SAYING THAT. We're saying the 22 year old handling the company's twitter account should be paid a living wage. At that point, we'd have to dig into the cost of living in Irvine and its surrounding areas, what the social media manager at Blizzard gets paid, and whether or not that's considered a "living wage". We don't have that, so we can't REALLY have that conversation here beyond me asserting "I think everyone at Blizzard should be paid a living wage, and I mean EVERYONE, facilities staff included" and you either agreeing or disagreeing with that.

I think Cody's subject did a disservice to the discussion even if I agree with him on the core topic.

I agree with him on the core topic as well. I just don't think there is enough information on either side of the subject to really make a debate. Like, I would play devils advocate but I can't!

For my latest post I reviewed the article in question again and it really doesn't do the topic justice and unfortunately some of the complaints people had are incendiary/salacious which makes it easy to have here a blustery thread of people arguing past each other.
