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.

Not so much Indians stealing jobs as your employers giving them the jobs. The corporations sign off on sponsoring these cheap workers to undercut your profession.

From my perspective it matters little who is to blame, the solution is the same.
