I have no idea if that's good or bad.

There's more to it than just exchange rate - there's also cost of living wherever the studio is, if they allow Work From Home or if commuting to the office is required, what benefits are included, etc.

I mean considering game dev's are closer to seasonal workers for these companies... the risk is limited to paying them well.
