It certainly seems likely to be unpleasant there at the moment. A lot of other AAA developers do so much worse, treating salaried developers like contractors, making them crunch for no additional remuneration and then closing down the studio after the job's done. Hell, even contractors have contracts to protect them from this sort of abuse. But I think gamedev clearly runs at two levels. There's AAAs and then there's everyone else. The smaller teams either running as a hobby or only just scraping by, and every so often there's a Mojang that makes it big. But yeah, much easier doing B2B development work.
