Unless they literally get enough money to never have to work for the rest of their lives, that is absolutely horrible conditions.Over 7 days that's 14 hours per day, which isn't too insane.
How much are their salaries? Do they get overtime during crunch? A nice bonus when the game inevitably gets 99 on MC? Good holidays during normal workload times?
You can't really judge what this means without any of that info.
Lol what?
I agree, you don't, but if the pay is right, you get a nicer life the other side.That absolutely is insane.
You literally don't have a live during that time.
They did, that's the problem, they have 10 studios and they still crunch.
I don't think that's counting Sundays. It's 100 hour 6-day weeks meaning closer to 17 hour days. You do that for one week but anything longer than two straight weeks of that and it'll take a toll and fast.Over 7 days that's 14 hours per day, which isn't too insane.

So when you're old and can't do shit?I agree, you don't, but if the pay is right, you get a nicer life the other side.
Emphasis on IF.

Put this into perspective, with the assumption of a 30 minute commute. You leave at 8:30 AM, get there at 9:00 AM, leave at 11:00 PM, get home at 11:30 PM. Which means you have 9 hours at home where you have to eat,sleep,unwind, do whatever before you have to be out the door again.
Repeat for EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. That sounds like hell on earth.
Yeah. Of course we usually don't get reports from Japan about this but the situation is maybe even worse there.That sucks a lot for those developers. Here in Japan 12 hour days are way more common though (and all your favorite companies do that and more)... hopefully this mentality changes one day, because the turnover ratio is insane.
Sorry, I can just shake my head
Wow I didn't know Paul Ryan was a member of Era.
I'm about to turn 28.
Someday you will finish school and will have to get a job. You will change your mind.
I've worked 16-18 hours for days at a time sometimes to hit deadlines.
It's not nice but the pay is fucking good and that makes up for it at the end of the day.
That's why I'm saying without knowing what their pay is, and the working conditions usually, 100 hours doesn't mean much.
Working like that bought me my house.
You're making a mistake.
You're assuming that the worker bees even go home after work in the first place, rather than sleeping at their desk.
Try reading my other posts?Someday you will finish school and will have to get a job. You will change your mind.
This means most people on this forum will boycot the game right?

By living in the office: you get 7 hours sleep per night, 2 hours a day for meals and toilet breaks and about 43 minutes of "me time" left to call the wife and kids. Easy peasy.There's only 168 hours in a 7 day week.
How the fuck can you exist like that?
It will be the best selling game of the year.This means most people on this forum will boycot the game right?
I agree it's down to personal circumstances and what you're willing to sacrifice for the paycheck.Working extra long days every now and again is different for doing it "for weeks" at "several points of the year". That is at a point where you aren't seeing your kids at all (or perhaps one day a week if you're lucky) for weeks on end.
Like a prison sentence. What amount of money would "compensate" for not seeing your kids grow up? You'd be talking millions a year so that you could retire before your kids are grown up.

Uhm it totally is.
