Unregulated capitalism always ends with a few big corps, and once that happens they have all the labor negotiating power.
If the few big studios try to compete they’ll lose potentially hundreds of millions of dollars. If they all “individually’” decide to cut pay for highly specialized positions, that labor pool doesn’t really have any other options but to take it.
