Its not about punishing them. Its about letting them know that this isnt the movie or TV industry. Making publishers pay out royalties to every person who works on a game will just make them focus on their big games. So FPS games and sports games will dominate even more than they already do. It will limit what publishers are willing to make.

So basically saying your skills aren't worth enough for us to actually pay you decent money to use them. The only ones who actually get anything out of this are the publishers, in an industry that has been growing by leaps and bounds over the last several decades. This isn't the movie or TV industry, yes. It's still pretty much equal to them in terms of value at this point. Yet somehow people who work in the video game industry are just supposed to settle for less for what is often the same amount of work. The raise in pay and unionizing hasn't stopped the movie or TV industry from making smaller scale projects, I don't see why it would here.

Yeah, you know...the people who pay for everything.

Im all for developers getting bonuses and perks btw.
