andylt 10/27/20 6:29:16 PM #51:	UltimaterializerX posted... I'm just going to say it out loud. Every profession has a form of "crunch". These devs need to stop bitching or GTFO. If you choose to be a tax accountant, you don't get to bitch about your hours from February through April. It comes with the job. My crunch happens every 6 months or so. If you're a gaming developer, your hours will suck in the months leading up to release. Deal with it. ??? Are workers not entitled to demand fair treatment? Should everyone just accept being mistreated because others suffer too? I'm by no means an expert on this topic but your outlook seems needlessly cruel. This isn't people whining about a bit of overtime, by all accounts this is a really serious issue of exploitation by pretty much all the major companies. Crunch is not a mandatory part of game development, it only exists because of greedy execs wanting to meet their own self-imposed deadlines so they can get a bigger bonus, and they can get away with it because the gaming industry is an absolute mess and nobody is unionised. https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1321140689309175808 Not to mention CDPR already said they wouldn't be enforcing crunch on this game, then went back on it a year later. --- Congrats to azuarc, Guru Champion 2020! <cite>andylt posted [p:946380397] in Just in ca...
