average!
useless answer
I think he wants a Number
so dont say "average"
say what the average is...
Between 15-30k depending on experience etc etc. Good programmers with experience can earn lots more.

Is that 15K-30K US dollars or UK pounds?
I''m sure that''s pounds, so the equivalent in dollars would be about 22-45k, something like that. However, I do know that the US pays its programmers more than we do in the UK. The cost of living there is probably higher though too.

Obscure: what is a decent figure for a recent graduate just entering the UK game programming market?
It''s really not that uncommon to see US programmers, the ones working for large dev studios, to make $60. But it''s also quite likely you''ll make a lot less. Oh, the vagaries of the USA...

Just to restate Kylotan''s question, as I too am interested in the answer:
