I'd say the video game industry is quite distinct from other industries in that the consumers have great say in how the industry should operate. The selfishness and narcissism of our consumerist culture are quite prominent here and it shows in how exploitative the industry is. I mean 60-70 hr work week is the norm here. Which other 'boring' industry has that?

Meatpacking and logistics (Amazon!).

Yes, those industries are exploitative and we've even had presidential aspirants take aim at those exploitative practices. But the OP seems to think that only the gaming industry gets special attention.
