Not buying what? (Destiny)
That there hasn't been a studio-wide mandatory crunch? I'm not seeing how that's a hard claim to believe, especially with the sheer number of employees Bungie has now (at least 750 employees as of last year). I'd actually be more surprised at this point if they DID have mandatory studio-wide crunch for almost EIGHT HUNDRED employees. The rest of the "claims" in the article are about philosophies, something that's always a little bit bullshit anyway.
Aaaaaand there it is (emphasis mine).
You mean to tell me, that you honestly think, there weren't people at Bungie working (as Timmins says) 50+ hours?
That didn't want to? (hell, let's include 'wanted to' as well)
Bull.Shit.
You can't say "there wasn't a crunch! Well, for most people there wasn't."
Not the same thing.
Nope.
What the article says, is that they've gotten better at managing their people, thus reducing the severity of the crunch.
I'd LOVE, LOVE to see some comments from the contractors, engineers and testers, regarding Timmins statements.
