Or they'll contract out since this is just a US union. It's kind of hilarious that they don't realize how easily replaceable they are, and once they find out how cheaply their jobs can be done they'll be out of work for good.
The other issue is that unlike Hollywood, there is a vast and extensive network of Indie and AA studios that are not beholden to the overall Games industry and would continue to exist if this strike happened. In fact, such a strike would probably allow them to cut into the market share of AAA devs even more than they already are, which is a market where a $15 voxel based game is putting up player numbers on par with Call of Duty and its $70 price tag.
