> If you’re working as independent contractor with a B2B arrangement, the notion of overtime does not really exist.
That's correct. But if you're paid for an hour of work ("time & material") you will get paid for your "overtime".
I don’t know what’s the typical arrangement in game industry, but in software engineering industry at large, B2B contracts are very common, due to rather preferable tax treatment. B2B gives 10-30% increase in net pay, and its downsides are lack of mandatory severance, mandatory time off days, overtime pay etc. In most scenarios these are not an issue, because if one can negotiate high pay justifying B2B, one can also negotiate time off and lack of overtime. Don’t know about game industry though.
