most of that is true, except that the idea that more money equals more quality isn't really true.

That's probably why I never said more money equals more quality.

I'm just saying what a professional freelance games writer would get for general work.

Yea from what I've been looking up that video game writers do I'd hope to now have someone that, when I come to the point of needing a writer, would work along side me to have the story told well through dialogue. I mean I can tell someone exactly who I want to say what but then I could write that myself. I'd hope to find a writer that might look at my game and gameplay and work with me to add dialogue in places that might improve the story aside from writing exactly what I want. With the amount of time I imagine to work with the writer, anything under $100 doesn't seem like it would even cover minimum wage in the US.  

Yup, anyone who was just writing blind wouldn't be doing their job as a scriptwriter. It's absolutely about seeing where writing is needed in the game and what you need to communicate to the player.

It baffles me how cheap most of you are.

generally freelance writers are paid between a dollar and three dollars a page.

Come on???

Some of us actually need food and other things for a living.
My current single guy living expenses are about 700€ / month (Cheap apartment, water/electricity, normal Food) to that comes Internet, Broadcastfees, Trash, Rent, Health Insurance, Phone bills. etc. etc. That amounts to about 1000€ per month.
WITHOUT tax!!!
Not counting furniture, cloths, car fuel & repairs and all the other very expensive things.

It's simple, you live in a too rich country to be a freelancer. In my country, 1000 euro salary would be far more than needed for all expenses (actually, you could support a whole family with that kind of money).
Personally, I feel puzzled why all those people from US and other rich countries even bother to become freelancers...

Usually for reasons other than money. It's just that to be a freelancer you usually need money to survive.
