Larian Studios does this with new builds of Divinity: Original Sin.

Yes, but factor in cost of living and it's another story, unless you live somewhere like Spokane and commute 4 hours every day each way.

There's work, my point was the wages are depressed. Starting [before the big boom of on-shoring] was about 20% higher than what you list, and that was in places with much lower cost…

If you mean that actress 30 years ago, yes.

Yeah, again, I could just point you to http://www.yourlogicalfallacyis.com and just say "all of them".

But it wasn't incorrect. Singapore enables outsourcing. It is not just some country I threw a dart at a globe to determine. It's a smaller player, but it's growing. The point is, either on-shoring [H1B] or…

I thought about a genuine reply, but your comment is so full of ad hominem it's not worth it.

You are incorrect on all counts, and your pretense and assumptions are laughable. You do not understand my argument, or my issues, and I have really nothing to discuss as you are clearly biased.

It isn't just Microsoft. They started it, but be certain it's spread everywhere.

People give me shit for speaking out about it, but the issue isn't that I'm threatened because they have more education, it's that the wages are artificially depressed to the point that the career is not worth it without significant…

I could not let the Feminazi Circle-Jerk continue. I have arrived to threaten your echo chamber and rostrum.

Behold the notion that those who advocate for the rights of men are not instantly bigots or scary evil people.

Behold also what your entire movement looks like to adults:

I don't know everything, but don't respond well to ad-hominem.

Namaste, I guess.

I find the insinuation that I am ignorant - including the multiple reference to rednecks in South Park - offensive. I am anything but ignorant.

The H1B definitely does more of the latter than the former, but it's only half the problem.

It doesn't face scrutiny here, because most have no idea it even exists, and if you speak up about it you are called a bigot, as I said. They love to hide it and package it into "immigration reform" but by "reform" they mean triple the number of them.... that's not reform.

I find it laughable that they are trying so…

Yeah well consider income versus cost of living - I don't consider $60k in San Francisco better than minimum wage, considering the population density, housing prices, and overall expense, for example.

Furthermore, are you in a specialized niche industry? Do you know people?

And do you only have a Bachelor's? Because…

There is a normal immigration process. It involves a lottery because any civilized nation wants to limit import of citizens and ensure they are not just going to be tax burdens.

I don't blame the people getting jobs with them, I blame the system that uses the false justification of there being not enough talent here to create and maintain them in the first place.

And it IS false. There are at my last count over a quarter million CS and CE grads who are unemployed, and even more who have [like…

Yes, the gap is that big, because cronyist politicians claim that there is a STEM shortage, but in reality there are hundreds of thousands of STEM graduates, they just won't work for as little as the firms here want to pay - and they are only used to paying that, and have re-built their business models around paying…

Well, I dropped out because of precisely this - depressed wages and increased schooling cost. Then again, that was about 10 years ago. But the issue then is still extant - why would someone hire you for 50k with benefits and paid vacation when they can hire a code monkey from India, Malaysia, the Philippines,…

Most of that is likely:

*Regulation and Regulatory Compliance
*Inflation
*Taxes
*Taxes
*Taxes
*More Taxes
*Trying to survive in a market that doesn't actually like Fast Food

No, thanks.

I prefer Baseball!

If I wanted to see young, thin people doing young, active things, I'd just go
to the local hiking trails or 5ks full of snooty athletes.

You should not put all your eggs in that basket. I actually dropped out of CS because it's not worth it - they will pay a bachelor's 8-10.00 /hr in normal coding stuff, unless you're specialized, know someone, or have a Master's, you need a backup plan.

It's the Tech equivalent [now] of an Art History, English or…

All of this - including the missed paychecks, cronyism, layoffs and immunity cards - are why I left the industry after they laid me off [a high level manager] and rolled my job into "Marketing" [which is laughable] but kept the prima donnas and the overpaid ass-kisser.

Of course, our issue was compounded because the…

We didn't stream through a portal onto an alien world trying to free Sargeras.

We don't enable a Zombie Hitleress who is fast becoming a mini-LK. With Valks and everything. Who tried on multiple occasions to commit genocide. And y'all just sit there and go, "'s cool, bro."
