I just don't like that line of reasoning. It's really close to victim blaming.
You can like a job and love the work you do at that job, while also acknowledging the exploitative labor practices and wanting to push things forward towards positive change. "This is just how it's always been" and "if you don't like it, leave," are extremely shitty and unhelpful lines of reasoning that just allow these companies to continue getting away this horseshit. It's especially unhelpful, because, as Cyber so helpfully pointed out, this is the norm at many large game companies. So your option is to put up with it and continue to do the thing you actually love, or get out of the industry and do something else.
