Every day there’s more big job cuts at tech and games companies. I’ve not seen anything explaining why they all seam to be at once like this. Is it coincidence or is there something driving all the job cuts?

I fully believe we'll get a standardized 60 hour work week before we get a 20 hour one. Hell, I'm pretty sure we'd relegalize slavery before we get a 20 hour work week. Your average American will bend over backwards for a chance to please "the boss" and actively rat on their colleagues for avoiding work because our cultural understanding of loyalty is functionally equivalent to boot licking.
