Glen Schofield says they are working 6 to 7 days a week and 12-15 hours a day to have The Callisto Protocol ready
- Thread starter Gonzito
- Start date
I hope everyone on that team is compensated with exorbitant bonuses assuming the game sells as well as forecasted.
If you "love us" you delay the game 6-12 months and respect yourselves better. Wtf is this toxic self imposed work culture "for us" nonsense.
Wow, talk about not knowing how to read the room. This one tweet is going to backfire on him spectacularly
Awful. Exploitative. Nobody should venerate or support this.
The replies to the tweet celebrating their "passion" make me sick.
Bullshit.

Yeah u don't even understand the point. This is not a good look for the game and the studio
"We're crunching because we want to rather than because we have to (but since I'm the boss and I do it, everyone basically has to)"
The "U do it cause ya luv it" is probably a sentiment that isn't shared by most of his workers. Big yikes.
How long before this tweet is deleted?

Who likes hearing that developers are working 72-105 hours a week? And which poor soul is voluntarily working for that long and fine with it? It's just not good for your health, sorry to be so presumptive.
Guess I'm not supporting this game. Sorry to the staff putting up with this and having it enforced on them.
It's deep seeded in gaming sadly. It being a passion profession it is rife with that type of exploitation.
I'm not sure if the staff being abused by this wants people boycotting the game they put years of their lives into.
I'm sure they don't, but at the end of the day, BUYING the game just encourages this kind of toxic work environment.
Glenn Schofied was born from the early days at Crystal Dynamics where it was assumed that you would work 12-15 hours a day 7 days a week fir six months. And sure no one "forced" you to do it, but guess what happened to the people that didn't do it once the game shipped.
I can't tell if he's implying that staff are working while they have COVID, or if he's just referring to the high level pandemic. If it's the former, that's an extra yikes
This is always tricky situation for me. Yeah I want dev condition to be better, but if the game bombed, it's not gonna help the dev either, in fact, it'll make the dev feel worse. All that work for the game to fail.
