And I was totally in agreeance that the current conditions are insane. I just don't think the arts should be held to the same standard as 'normal' jobs, because that's how you lose out on the art. Especially if overtime stops being an option entirely or you're not allowed to do some work at home. I agree the corporations need more regulation, but too much can be bad.

What do you mean "lose out on the art"? Art is labor and artists need money to pay the bills. The idea that these are two unrelated things, that artists need to work harder or have a "real" job while they struggle to "make it" is bad! It's how the world works, but it's not ideal.

To give a concrete example we can compare indie games to AAA games. They're more personal and "artistic" but still pay the bills - so you see things like Kickstarter or Epic exclusivity or working with larger publishers. Crunch can still happen with indies and it doesn't become better just because it's more artistic or whatever.
