Well, I guess the games industry needs to morph into one that's not salary & benefits based, but pure mercenary contract consulting for huge numbers up front, you want to keep someone past the intial eye watering amounts, then sign the contract extension for a full year. Can't trust a salary if they keep acting mercenary with their employment shitcanning you after you provide something which will bring them in tens of millions.
