AAA industry at work. What did folks at Bioware call it? Bioware Magic! Followed by Stress casualty.
Time to unionize to avoid tragedies including extreme losses like this.

Christ. I know crunch is a nefarious practice but for once I really want to think this is not the full story. Like, what the fuck, NetherRealm?
Definitely something that needs confirmation before discussing, IMO.
Utter madness if it's true.

Injustice 2, not MKX
I'm going to default to believing this is untrue.
We're going to need more evidence/proof than this one Tweet.

Unionize ffs. This is unacceptable.
There's a time and a place. This ain't if chief.
If that's true, at least it won't be for nothing. There's no a union isn't formed or some new safety regulations aren't put in place as a direct result of this. Unfortunate that it had to get to this point.
Also a fair point. If it's a direct result of crunch or an aggravation of a pre-existing condition due to it, it will hopefully spark change.

Shouldn't we wait on more information on this? It's just a tweet. Y'all don't think this would've came out YEARS ago?.
As horrible as this is, we don't know for sure that this person died "at their desk" or if it was because of crunch of unrelated.
Regardless, it's sad and folks should unionize, but it's easy to read a thread title and jump into conclusions because the emotional weight of what is alleged.

Insane if true, but even if it isn't, the entire story is mad stuff. Every day working until midnight or later with barely any overtime pays if at all, with literally mandated crunches for years at a time. This industry is fucking rotten.
