The reality is that game development industry is full of exploitation, workers are underpaid compared to people doing the same job in other industries, they commonly have an expectation of unpaid overtime, and now lots of them lost their job.
Having less games is not the issue, people losing their jobs after already having it worse than other office workers is the issue.
