On a general rule, in the game industry when you 'work on salary' for a gaming company you generally negotiate a 'Yearly' wage. (ie: $25,000/year) and the number of hours is never specified. Also, usually there is specific mention that the hours can become long at different times during the dev cycle. So if you sign for $25,000/year and get paid bi-weekly then you would get $961.54 minus the tax and deductions every two weeks.

Just out of curiosity, is that a fairly typical wage for an American working in the gaming industry?
