It's becoming harder to sustainably run a game studio in the United States. What can be done to improve that?
Brother, it's your cost of living. Almost every other country which has a footprint on the video game market and isn't known for black policies has better working hours and balance of life. It's just that paying Americans a liveable wage is three or four times more expensive than giving a reasonably comfortable wage to a developer elsewhere.
The other part of it is to look at where your game companies are clustered in the US. It's either the bay area, Seattle, or Florida. None of those places are exactly cheap to either hire employees with these conditions or to hold an office space.
