Implying that the only issue is the lack of games in 2024. That's not the real issue. The real issue is that, while you see it as "an extreme privilege" to be working in art, those people are just at work, and they are losing it.

Sure, it's not a critical job that will cause society to collapse, but you could say that about most jobs in today's society. I work in a hotel. A friend of mine works in a restaurant. Another friend of mine is on a cruise ship. We could all lose our job today and society will still be fine tomorrow, it doesn't mean that it's a privilege for us to have these jobs. It's a job like any other for us.

It's just sad that so many people are losing their job for no apparent reason but investors' greed and the inherent flaws of a system whose goal is infinite growth.

Fair point tho as a consumer you don't really have a practical way to affect this so this whole exercise just feels mentally unhealthy.
