Everyone does it, so it’s fine? Sorry, that’s reddit-tier completely asinine logic right there, and it’s not helpful towards actually changing anything.

Yes. It's fine. Nothing needs to change. That's the point of my post. You want to get paid to work in games, you need to actually finish the games. If your company has crappy management, and you have to consistently crunch to meet deadlines, you should self-evaluate whether the work is worth your pay.

And then you quit if it's not? Where do you go? To another studio that does the same thing? Get a job in some other field even though your only work experience is in video games?

Look, I'm not about to judge someone if they're in a bad financial situation, but anyone working in the industry is familiar with what's reasonably expected of you, and if you're smart enough to work in games, you're smart enough to work in other tech/media industries.

It was reasonably expected of actresses to sleep with directors and producers back in old Hollywood. So that should continue just because that's the way it is?

What if what's reasonably expected of you is not so reasonable?
