Title days "devs" article says HR and QA most laid off. Those aren't devs...

Still, it does sound like employees in gaming companies should unionise!

QA aren't devs? I would like to know your definition of development.

If you think QAs are software developers, I'd like to know what you think QA stands for. Hint, it doesn't stand for developer.

Inb4 "they develop tests": so an event planner is also a developer then because they "develop a programme" and the words "develop" and "programme" are in the job description.

Where I worked QA did nothing else but programming. They were writing automated tests for anything we worked on.
