Though this ‘crunch’ problem in the gaming industry is significant, isn’t CDPR’s latest ‘version’ less an example of ‘crunch’, and more an example of typical overtime as seen in many other industries? I should acknowledge I’m not entirely clued in on this situation, or crunch more broadly, so it’s possible I have missed important context...I didn't breeze over anything, they don't come out because it's their job on the line. And they know it. Hell, most probably aren't even bothered about coming forward as it's just accepted. No doubt you'll see that as a good thing.
You mistake me for some outraged fool, or someone who believes the "media" or all the other bullshit you want to spout. Marching
The fact is you simply do not know what you are talking about. You don't know the industry nor do you understand the specific pressures. You don't get why this is even a big deal, why everyone should speak up about unfair working practices. You are complicent, good for you, but that doesn't mean we all should be.
Oh and you won't be getting a PM. You can look into it if you really want, that way you can't claim I'm just following media bias or whatever other out of touch nonsense you want to spout.
Final word, as a courtesy, you are on the same moral right and wrong side as my old mucker geks. That's a big red flag right there..
Personally, though, I’m getting destroyed at work currently and am required to stay back every day, including some weekends. Sure, you can’t look at this situation in a vacuum, but perhaps your opinion on this matter is clouded by poor practices occurring elsewhere in the industry? The pandemic has affected what was otherwise an achievable deadline. With regard to the specific conditions subjected to these workers (and disregarding for a moment the shit occurring elsewhere in the industry), is this really such a damaging situation?
