      I do worry about the longevity of unionization in the gaming industry. There’s a lot of churn and high demand for the positions. There’s remote work now, scabs don’t even need to show up to cross the picket line.

        I mean, when they work indie, they don’t need to unionize.

        We probably won’t see unions; just a collapse of AAA. The Game Awards this year was a joke with only about 3 big contenders, and most were regarded as “indie”.

          There are only two types of games nowadays. Everything that isn’t AAA is labelled “Indie”, even when they’re with major publishers and have three dozen devs and a hundred externals.
