Right. But the WGA *wasn't* operating under conditions where their labour had lost all value (and neither were those game devs). Counterexamples include the garment workers in that very book (which is so far my favourite book for the year) - and, in more recent times, typesetters. Typesetters here had a *very* strong union (they had the power to literally stop the presses and not start them again!) - but when their work was rendered valueless, they were screwed nonetheless.
