I think this is more about the over saturation of effects companies providing visual effects to film companies, than about pay structures in these effect houses. Boss Film Corp run by Oscar winner Richard Edlund couldn't compete with ILM back in the 1990's, so the effects house closed. Edlund said in an L.A. Times article that effects companies paid their staff exceptionally decent salaries for the work they did on a number of film projects his Boss Film Corp. were involved in, like Die Hard, Predator and Hunt for Red October. But we're not talking about the video games industry here.
