It all depends on where you work and what lines you personally draw in the sand. Some novice game developers will not draw a line in the sand near release and management will work them to death. Stress causality is the term for when people don't quit, don't say anything, and just stop showing up for work. If you work at a studio where crunch is normalized then usually there is a stress causality normalization too.

And there’s no reason to think it will

Thanks for sharing ! Looks like the usual "small white male feeling powerful because he's the boss" bullshit more than a problem specific to the gaming industry.

Anyway, unionizing should protect them better from these kind of abuse, which is good :)
