At GDC last month, Lightforge Games CEO Matt Schembari shared the studio's approach to salary transparency and the benefits across the company to have an open salary policy.
Schembari is part of the group of Blizzard and Epic veterans who formed Lightforge Games in 2020. He previously worked at Epic Games as Fortnite's UI director, after spending a decade at Blizzard.
"The goal here is not to convince you all to go home and enact an open salary right away," he said as a preamble to his GDC talk. "[It's] about planting a seed. When I was first introduced to this idea, I thought it was absolutely bonkers and thought there were probably all sorts of unintended side effects and downsides.
