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.

I would not be surprised if it is true. Every fucking body graduating high school who can cut on a PC wants to be a game developer. And tons of tech schools offer a degree focusing on that in particular. The pool of available employees is probably larger than many other fields. I mean, who wants to spend all day maintaining code for insurance when they could be writing a cool new game?
