It would have been nice if they asked some devs too.
Did I read a different article?

Won't likely happen for a long time when so many other people will do it for the same pay just go get a break in the industry
The point is: ya gotta be ignorant to believe any one of these. The article doesn't even go into the finer points, like how development decisions can come off as lazy but are rarely made because of laziness (more like lack of time or beyond scope or _______).Uh, most of these are all things I read on GAF almost daily.
The "game developers are rich" thing might not be as true any more as maybe it once was in the Ion Storm / Digital Anvil era when people were just spending crazy amounts of money on things that never materialized.
Ion Storm, for example, had a minimum salary of $65k... and that was for the receptionist.
But I think it's come back into play a bit because of Call of Duty devs, mobile games and maybe some Star Citizen.
None of these are representative of the industry at large, but the news will report on things like "Everyone bought a Ferrari with their bonuses" and not "Dev successfully makes Honda Accord payment on time."
Misconception: Casual Games Dont Matter
Robert Yang, developer of erotic games such as Cobra Club and Hurt Me Plenty, thinks that people underestimate just how important casual games actually are:
Sorry your feelings get hurt game devs, but your business is a rickety laughable one in many ways and its gonna take actually wanting to change half of this shit before you stop hearing the same echoes.
So basically "10 Things Anyone Reasonable Would Already Know About Gaming".
Do you know how much the writer for a TV show makes for an episode they wrote?
Most of these seem pretty obvious and any rational thinking person would already know all this.
To me Day 1 DLC will always mean that they chose to remove some content from the game in order to sell as DLC.

"Game Development Is Easy? A Good Idea Is All a Game Needs? All Game Developers Are Rich?"
These are in no way common misconceptions.
These all seem tenuous at best in my opinion. I certainly don't think anyone believes that all developers are rich, nor that realistic visuals make for a better game.
Lazy devs is the most oft repeated catch phrase in online gaming forums. And over shit like "I can't believe this beautiful 60fps game occasionally drops frames" or "I can't believe this AAA game runs at sub HD."
