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.


It's a big deal if the industry is regularly churning through talent stunting the growth of the industry as more experience devs because they, checks notes, "want a better quality of life".

If the only people who make games end up as worn out husks of humans, I both think the product suffers and that it's simply not worth it.


Guys, it's Rockstar. They made the most profitable media title of all time. If they don't have the political/financial clout to demand better working conditions, I don't see who does.

And as for the product suffering...

The quality of a game like RDR2 is hardly comparable to anything else because so few games are made at that scope over 7 years by massive teams. It's pointless to point at review scores and act like that means anything.
