Is it a 'crisis' if the industry has been doing the same thing consistently for the last 30 years, or just a terrible industry for the workers, whose enthusiasm for working on games clouds their judgement regarding what they consider acceptable working conditions?

It doesn't seem like a crisis for the companies if they still get one or two hundred applicants for many positions they post.
