I disagree with your last point. If enough people get another job, the industry they are leaving will adapt or die. Since people still want to be distracted from life (big demand) the industry will more likely adapt.

Moreso than other software industries, I think gaming is one that faces a real threat from indie companies. For example, simcity basically died because of cities skylines.

It wouldn't have died if it was of actual quality. In a free market competition between two parties, both are responsible for the shared future.

The point is, people don't want the dying option here. That's why they stay.

>If enough people get another job, the industry they are leaving will adapt or die.

That's essentially a union. A large group of people say they'll leave unless things improve.

That's precisely the opposite.

The only way that happens is with a union. The union is what lets the workers organize for the kind of collective action that forces an industry to adapt.
