You've been working on this for 7 years. Why is there still crunch time? How badly managed does a project have to be that you work on it for almost decade and still have to force your workers to kill themselves to get it out on time? It's prolly an Executive call. I doubt the executives just sprung a surprise release date on them after 7 years of work though. 100 hour weeks should not even be on the table No, but an executive COULD look at current gaming trends and demand that a feature or something be added at the last minute, forcing teams to work around the clock to keep from getting delayed. I'd bet money that the success of GTA Onlne is the reason for this particular crunch, since I doubt the devs were working towards making Online a core part of the game back when work first started. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
