No. The problem is: there are too many people willing to work in game development in bad conditions. If supply dwindled, the game companies will have to improve working conditions or face huge delays in delivering their next cash cow.

- mym1990 5y agoI think the likely outcome from attrition of good employees is that eventually the company just goes out of business or gets acquired. Of course industry standards would have upward pressure to improve conditions, but a lot of that would come from greenfield endeavors. Unless you think these transformations happen overnight, supply dwindling and working conditions being reevaluated would most definitely decrease quality of games in the short term.
