That's $25,000 per person in salary which really isn't all that much. This isn't even taking into account all of the hardware, software, bandwidth, overhead costs that are also associated with the site. Anybody who thinks IGN are making out like thieves must have failed math.

Oh yeah how do you think other websites make money??
They also have advertising earnings and other stuff. Perhaps they get their games for free (sort of sponsering).
