The problem with the game business is that so many young developers see it as a glamorous industry that, unlike most other dev specialties, there's more supply than demand. Employed game devs are reluctant to make too many waves because they know they can be replaced. This is why salaries are low and hours long. I can't say I miss working in that industry much myself.
