> game development...is notoriously abusive and can get away with it because of a fresh supply of enthusiastic young people.

Hollywood also has an endless supply of enthusiastic young people. To me this sounds like an argument in favor of unionizing the game dev industry.

You don’t get into the Hollywood unions until you put in hundreds of hours of set time, most ADs I know don’t get the corresponding benefits until they are about 30.

Why's that? In the Nordics you can already join an union when you're a student without a job yet, and many people do.

All those game industry horror stories are an even stronger argument in favour of unionising the game industry.
