Square-Enix employees are paid the best; even better than Sony or Nintendo

According to Nensyu Lab's top salary chart, the numbers depict Square-Enix employees to be the highest paid in the industry.

The salary chart has SE employees at an average salary figure of 21.68 million yen, which translates into $272,384.40. Especially considering that Sony and Nintendo employees are paid roughly 9.23 million ($116,232.40) and 9.14 million ($115,099.10) respectively, SE employees definitely are paid more generously than the rest of the industry.

It's to be observed, however, that these figures are founded strickly on government filing, so the average pay for SE employees may not be as average as the "average" figure portrays. Still, an average like that means that employees are either paid the same or the pay is incredibly top-heavy.

I know that PlayStation Universe has a lot of fans of old Square-Enix games, and, more specifically, Final Fantasy VII. Does this sort of news bother anyone, or do you guys think that SE employees are doing enough work on enough games to deserve such high salaries?

    It could very well be that the top guys make 50 million a year and everybody else makes $4/hour. I imagine if you took Kotick's salary and combined it with 100 average programmers, you'd end up with an average of $1,000,000 / year.

     So is it top heavy in terms of payment? Does this refer to most employees getting paid a good amount, or do the executives get paid so much that the overall average is boosted? They do know what they are doing though, this company isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

     Well I'm not contributing to their pay, their games are pure trash nowadays. FFXIII-2 proved that the US gamers are guilible enough to keep giving them second chances since it was a major flop in Japan, seems they've had enough of their BS, I know I am.
