Part of me wants to argue that the games industry has a long-standing history of under-compensating workers, which makes being within the top 25% not particularly impressive, but instead I'm just going to admit that you caught me ragging on EA with an easy jab.
They did lay off a shed load of workers earlier this year mere days after announcing record profits though. Still, they're not quite the miserable black hole that they were in the 'EA Widows' era when they were forcing unpaid overtime on a straight up illegal level.
