Well now KSP is going to be renowned for paying developers less than fast food workers. Hell I know homeless people making more in street change than these developers.

I would be hesitant to hire anyone from KSP. From my admittedly limited experience interviewing people, those people who value themselves at the bottom end of the market generally are lacking in some manner that makes them unsuitable for working in a team in a professional setting.

They most likely make great hackers and I bet they are very capable in one particular way, but can they cope in a fast paced business with large responsibilities? I've found that people asking for way below the market rate are asking for a very good reason and that's that they are not up to scratch for this type of environment.




You dangerously sound like you don't trust poor people. I bet such reasoning makes rising out of poverty harder than it otherwise already is.


You wouldn't hire anyone who worked on KSP because of assumptions you've made?
