I would be incredibly supportive of a game developer union in which developers can push back against being made to practice these unethical behaviors.

    I guess I was thinking more like a guild, then? I licensing boards? "Sorry I can't shove random RNG-for-money, boss, I'll lose my membership/license".

      These union-skeptical comments like the GP rely upon the assumption that unions a hypothetical tech union would look identical to failed unions of the past, and are incapable of doing anything different.
