I think the problem is there is a lot of people that want to be game developers and many are either very inexperienced or don’t have what it takes. Game development can also be expensive (if you want to do a decent game) and companies are not always willing to pay for good developers. From my experience, here in the UK, the best developers usually want to work from home anyway because there is enough work and they like the freedom. I develop games myself but I also outsource some of the game coding from time to time. Building a network of talented developers rather than trying to employ them seems to be the best answer.
