I like to think that we're all working class, and that to subdivide classes further benefits only the capital

highly paid developers

Not in the games industry, lol

Devs are working class

Because they actually work on products literally, they're the base of their profession with pretty much nobody under them bar a few juniors if any

I fear the day when being a dev like me becomes so normal I make minimum wage and can't afford anything anymore... It's seriously terrifying to realize I worked and learned all this time and it may be for nothing in like 10 years..

Higher wage working class is working class. If your income doesn't come from owning things, if you put in work to get your income, you are working class. Division among ourselves only weakens us.

100%. I always ask people to look at their tax return. Does your money come from your labour/work, or from the things you own? If you aren’t living off of the things you own, then you are working class.

If your income comes mainly from your work, you're Working Class (even if you own you own business), if your income comes mainly from the money made by the money you have (in assets or even "investments") you're Owner Class.

Certainly, modern politics only ever divides people in those two classes, with mainstream parties generaly only working for the good of the Owner Class which is how you end up with falling salaries in real terms and growing Asset valuations in the form of bubbles on all kinds of assets, most notably stocks and realestate (notice how most mainstream politicians see the rising of both stockmarkets and house prices - tough of late, they don't say it about the latter quite as openly - as being good things).

The single greatest scam of modern Neoliberal Capitalism was making people who own their means of production - sometimes only partially or not really because they're in debt for it - but still have to work for a living think they're not Working Class and hence Neoliberal Capitalism is actually working for their benefit.

If there is one thing that around a decade working for the Finance Industry has taught me, is that almost all government policies are directed to help those who make money from having money make even more money, which is why, for example, plenty of countries have lower taxes on income from "investments" than on income from "work", when the fair thing would be the other way around since the former is parasitical so lower taxes on it just induces more economic actors to engage in non-productive, extractive economic activities.

how highly paid are we talking? I doubt they're making 200k

keep in mind that Canadian tech sector wages are not on par with american - as a rough rule, just keep the dollar value and change the currency (i.e. 100k USD salary is 100k CAD salary)

Capitalism will let us all eat shit and die and still cut that shit with the last of the Amazonian sawdust.
