Back in those days you could solo make it on your lunch break a prototype and go "hey! Game! Make money!" And that was it you'd be giving a 8ball and a weekend to finish it and that was that.
Atari programmers didn't get any 8balls they didn't purchase from their own money and sure as fuck didn't get any bonuses.
Credit and 8balls was Activision.
