I don't know if unionization will solve anything. I keep telling game developers (or future game devs) that their skills are extremely valuable in numerous other fields. The game industry takes its workers for granted.https://www.salon.com/2018/10/14/time-for-video-game-makers-to-unionize/ …

"I don't know if unionization will solve anything ... Collectively they have virtually zero bargaining power" ...isn't there an obvious link here..?
-
Yes totally. But forming a union? There are other ways of getting collective bargaining power.
-
The normal / traditional way of collective bargaining is to form a formal group to represent you... traditionally called a union. I feel like you've got a lot of connotations / culture somewhere that I'm not aware of / can't unpack here... What are you actually suggesting?

Just a little reminder that not every developer is working on the US West coast where there are plenty of opportunities outside of game dev. Other areas/countries make it harder to transition.

Are there really more game dev positions available in places outside the west coast?
