Found out Dark Souls was narrated by Malaysia's Pik-Sen Lim 林碧笙 (British citizen).
In the 60's she was torch bearing fire maiden for the Rye Fawks bonfire festival.
"Scorcher the dragon, and the Ryebellion drummers. The parade winds through the town of Rye..."

2) Everyone works part-time
3) Paying people above this rate, sometimes significantly

Someone explain this math to me. For a 4-person team is this $4K/mo or about $25/hr, which is like a third of the US game industry median. Is everyone banking on residuals? Or is it just made by 2 people? Or are people overseas? I'm missing some piece.
