As someone who always thought about getting into gaming as a career, i'm so glad i didn't... it's a shame that game developers are having to suffer through such a toxic industry, and that there aren't more protections in place for these people that create the amazing experiences that we all love so much.
I hope that they are able to find new and better places of employment.
I don't think that unions will help the game industry to the same degree that they help others.
There's an endless supply of young people who are excited to make games. Oversupply means that the demand-side (employers) have the power advantage.
