As someone who's worked in the game industry for 5 years, and done a fair amount of OT during that time, this whole rockstar debacle is overblown.
Every studio does this.
Every single one.
It's not a big deal. Games have to ship. Deadlines have to be met.
Stop acting like Game Devs don't know how to look after themselves.
I'll be playing RDR 2 when my copy arrives.
I would go as far as to say companies from all industries do this. When its PHYSICAL LABOR jobs, there is definitely a real problem. Not saying working 100 hours a week at a desk isn't a problem.
Maybe Cody is just trying to say you shouldn't be overworking workers just to add black bars to cutscenes after they have already been done.
Nothing is worse than doing a good job, then someone coming back through making you do it MORE and in a CRUNCH just because some bigwig thought it MIGHT be a good idea. I think they will be a nice touch for sure, but if I knew it was going to cost 50 people a few 100 hour work weeks (illogical guestimation), I could live without it.
