No, that would be when I said I was speaking to someone else who made that claim, before you interjected into the conversation thinking it was all about you and what you thought.

Excuse me while I get off my high horse.

LOL. I suppose Time Management solutions don't exist in the real world. Nobody in the entire IT world has ever filled out a timesheet before.

I really have a hard time understanding what you're saying, so let me make this simple:

Game Devs get a set salary. Let's say they get $50k a year. It doesn't what they do, they get paid that much money. There could be a major break, or they could be working their asses off. Doesn't matter, they get $50k. So, even if they work on the EA Season Pass they get paid their salary. Where are you getting this idea that part of the salary is put against the EA Pass? That makes little sense.

Anyway, that's what I've gotten with my highschool careers class research lol.
