there are a hell of a lot of corporate clients that are, and you'll get whatever is left over.
What's your point? I never claimed to be able to hire John Carmack. The only claim I made was that the price I was offering was fair and that I'd be able to find someone capable who was willing to work for that much.
I'm sure you'll find someone for dirt cheap, but you'll get what you paid for.
I'm not looking for someone who can code the next Doom engine. I'm looking for someone who can code a game where you click on some hotspots and play precalculated animations using an animation system I wrote.
It's a job I bet even you could do! :-)
