I wonder where a union draws its power from in an industry where there are so many people desperate for work right now.

Trade unions make sense because there’s such a shortage of skilled workers in total, much less scabs. How does a union for such a well known legacy game developer sustain itself in an environment where I bet scabs would be in abundance?

With more than 450 employees, you can't really replace all that on the fly.
