Unless you're at the top of the company: You are a wage slave. But this has nothing to do with what you're working on.

I don’t think anyone who has ever been a corporate executive should be talking about wage slavery. My man lives in a glass house

Bad usage of phrase because they're wage slaves regardless. The talk about continuous royalties that union film industry employees get, that doesn't apply to.game devs regardless anyways. It's just studio royalties but employee turnover. Royalties are for studio owners whether an active employee or investors. Game subscriptions are worse than music because of the lack of worker rights to what they work on. It is true that musicians can at least sell concert tickets and merchandise
