...are you forgetting basically everyone involved with Stadia takes home >$100,000/year? These are not exactly coal miners here. Everyone with any kind of software career has worked on a project that got canned.
Yes, they are not coal miners but they are not rich by any stretch.
(Also I’ve been in this situation, years ago, making SV money having projects suddenly canceled. It fuckin destroys morale, and despite what everyone says in this thread, despite the high cost of living, an entry level or a step or two up engineer salary at google will mean you pay off your loans and start building cash reserve very very quickly, never mind the stock grants, so you can just quit. And should, rather than linger around in a restructured team where everyone is kinda pissed.)
