All these jobs, where people turn their passions or hobbies into a job, tend to be very exploitative. I am surprised that outsourcing to China, India etc. hasn't been a bigger issue when it comes to game development. Importing cheap workers via H-1B visas is likely not an option for the developers because these jobs aren't paid well enough anyway (with some rare exceptions for key developers). I don't know if unions can do much against outsourcing, this has to be addressed on a legal level. Also contract work has to be considered equivalent to standard employment in particular if the contractor works for one single company.
