Sadly they might actually be. It's game theoretically an efficient strategy because they can extract so much before the workers unionize that it'll still be cheaper than compensating them fairly all along.

Only if institutional myopia keeps them focused solely on the next quarter or two.

The companies will learn that treating their employees fairly from the outset is cheaper than having a union force it upon them for the next 10 to 50 years.

How many micro-transaction laden titles can you shit out in 10 years?

What is the half-life of a game publisher/studio executive?
