  • Uhhhh.

    https://www.google.com/search?q=what+percentage+of+homes+are+over+%241+million

    Apparently per Redfin 8.5% of homes in the US are 7 figures or more. We’re not talking the 1% here.

    In California the median home price is almost $800,000.

    I’m in a HCOL area in Washington State and regularly see 3bdrm and sometimes 2bdrm condos for over 1 million.

    Not to mention sure your home is equity or net worth but most people only buy one and sell it anytime they move. Many of these people also planned on selling it / downsizing in retirement and converting it towards their retirement fund.

    Remember that “afford” doesn’t mean they have a million dollars. “afford” means they saved up a down-payment and then paid interest and mortgage payments (sometimes barely scraping by) for at least 30 years. Usually many more years if they moved from smaller house or a condo to a larger house when they decided to have a family (thereby starting a new mortgage for another 30 years). Or worst case, they haven’t paid it off and now are underwater on their mortgage.

    The banks are the ones making crazy money on all this.

    You’re comparing a 2d custom engine. Which admittedly you wouldn’t expect to have multiple os support…but it’s built on allegro, which is open source c++.

    To a 3d game in Unreal Engine 5, which stresses even the best systems running dedicated gpus on windows. Do many macs offer dedicated gpus these days?












  • I mean, without browsing levels.fyi or anything like that you can get 4 to 10 software engineers for 1 million (anything from 100k to 250k depending on location, experience, etc.).

    Not all employees are engineers but that would imply 80 to 200 staff for the 20 million they state.

    That’s only the component paid to the actual staff though. There are additional costs like Healthcare, unemployment, social security, etc, and other benefits that may not be included in wages (though some portion may be deducted from salaries), but they are including in that statement / summary.
