But remember, they can't find Americans who are qualified to do the job. Interesting that some make less than $60K a year. Those are supposed to be harder to get approved as the "no questions asked" rule is pay them $60K a year or they have a Masters or higher degree.

So have you actually worked in the industry?
It's actually not hard for a qualified American to get those tech job, and they have it much easier than the pajeets. Company actually need to spend money and shit to even apply for H1B.
H1B stealing jobs from qualified white american male is very rare and is always attributed to nepotism (pajeet manager hiring pajeets). Most of the "tech" jobs are actually lost due to diversity hiring fellow Americans, mostly white/asian women or blacks/browns.
There is a myth that "immigrants" are stealing all the tech jobs. The reality is that American companies are moving their tech jobs overseas so they can spend less on wages. H1Bs are not necessarily high priority because the govt basically forces those company to pay them American salary. Basically there are 3 reasons of favoring H1B: nepotism by pajeet manager, the fact that a particular H1B is actually a good worker, or the fact that H1B have less rights and thus more "dependent" and therefore loyal to the company.
I know it's easy for people to blame loss of jobs to H1B but really, H1B quota is quite small if you look at the big picture. Women and shitskin citizens are the ones stealing all your jobs, because they always get the job even when much less qualified.

Game industry? No. But I work in tech and it is not a myth that Indians are stealing jobs. There are repeated cases of companies laying off entire departments and replacing them with contractors from Cognizant and others (Disney, Aflac, etc). Usually they say the people can keep their jobs after the change but it always requires reapplying and taking a huge pay cut. I myself have watched most of my tech coworkers be replaced by either onshore (or worse offshore) contractors. The problem is that the limit is $60K or a Masters degree and the government accepts it without question. IT jobs usually pay way more than $60K and companies usually see IT as a cost center only, which means the first place they look to save costs is IT.

Game industry salaries are lower than the median of the tech industry.

Any data on this for major companies, excepting H1-Bs?
What you're saying used to be true, because game development had a huge allure. But I'd imagine the rise of independent development and the increasing 'corporatism' of big developers has gone a long way towards destroying that allure.
