You could just play indie games.
Maybe people are working themselves super-hard to make indie games, but it's self-directed and totally by individual choice. Tons of great indie games out there.
- state_less 8y agoI really enjoy paying small content creators too! It’s a strength of the internet.
- meditate 8y agoAs the film industry has demonstrated it is perfectly okay for independent productions to be non-union. There is little need or use for organized negotiations in that situation.
- jlawson 8y agoI agree, but I'm not sure any potential union would. E.g. want to hire a union programmer for your 3-person team? Whole studio has to now follow union rules and bring all other developers into the union as well. Forever.
- niij 8y ago> totally by individual choice So are people working for regular employers making video games. There's just more people who want to make games than work on insurance calculation (etc) software. That's why wages are lower.
