The other job will be just as crappy. Decent dev shops are few and far between. We get paid semi-decently to sell our souls, just as people in other jobs don’t even get paid properly to do the same.
Somewhere else where it’s going to end up the same. The industry is shit with this kind of practice, devs can go wherever they want, sure. Assuming this is true, which I have my doubts on, it doesn’t matter if everywhere is doing the same thing.
Most of Big Tech (or Big Anything really) is owned by the same few people through companies like Vanguard. Shitty industry practices come from that crowd, so there’s no escaping them. If you get into a neat company, they are bound to get acquired sooner or later. Fuck, most small companies actually start out aiming for an acquisition now.
Workers need to eat from every industry. The issue is almost never with them. Let me ask you this, do you have the same level of hate towards the cashiers at Walmart? Or the waiters at the restaurants you go to? No, probably not, so why this unique level of anger towards devs?
Devs have nothing to do with that decision

That decision doesn’t come from the devs.

Dude what’s your deal?
You think they’re going to strike and refuse? This is their last stand? They throw away their job because they will die on this hill?

You probably do some things for your job you aren’t stoked about, if you have a job.
I don’t think you even understand how work actually gets done, let alone how development works.
Yeah I for one would sooner let my child starve to death than deprive you of your fancy pixels
They develop it, sure, but much like the rest of the game, devs have minimal say in what actually goes into the game.

Big moving goalposts there. Maybe direct some of that vitriol at the execs, the ones who are actually not doing shit for humanity.
