That's how employment works. Calling them slaves is ignoring the fact that they have agency and compensation, unlike actual slaves.

No job is permemnent, it would be ridiculous to expect otherwise, but it varies between industries. Gaming is a low-frequency project-based industry, you know there will be lots of work while in development, and once that's over, there's not going to be as much work to do.

How else should this work?

Single employee doesn't have much negotiating power and shit flows down hill.

Shit industry practices are management's poor planning and workers have to take it.

If they got royalty share for their work like pre streaming TV shows staff did, this system would make some sense. Currently worker is getting a shit deal for the "privilege"
