I'm surprised this wasn't made a thread yet. This is awful, the crunch that these devs have to do is insane and now it will be even worse with the delay to December 10th of Cyberpunk 2077.

Just consider that a week is 168 hours long. Really insane.Just to be clear, that's 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, from 9am to midnight (assuming an hour's break over that period for food, etc).

I sometimes do 50 or 60 hours a week and doing 100 hours IS NOT THE SAME.
for the people in the backPeople should remember that they still have to crunch for a post-release patch and then the next-gen patch for next year.
100 work weeks means you only have 9 hours per day to anything outside of work: sleep, eat, family, friends, commute, life
I routinely work 70-80 hours a week. If I don't want to do it anymore I do have the option of quitting and/or finding a new job. You act like they're chained to their desks.
Too late. Boomers are already here with their bad takes 👇Waiting for the "I, too, have bad working conditions, so that makes it okay and we shouldn't feel bad for them!" post.

Christ, that's inhuman. The max I've worked has been 60 hours in a week, and I felt like shit. These poor people.
7 posts up above yours lolWaiting for the "I, too, have bad working conditions, so that makes it okay and we shouldn't feel bad for them!" post.
Fuck off with this misery Olympics. There is NO defense for them being worked this inhumanely hard (or working 70-80 hours a week for that matter), REGARDLESS if they could find another job. That's not even mentioning that we're in the middle of a global pandemic right now with a tight job market globally.I routinely work 70-80 hours a week.

Whew, a factory for terrible takes, lol. That's incredible.I attempt to document every classic response to tweets like this:
- What's Jason's agenda with this reporting?
- People aren't working 100 hours.
- Jason only talks to one source, I doubt that everyone does this.
- Crunch happens in every industry, this isn't new.
- Why does he have to steal the developer's spotlight, can't he just let them have some happiness for once?
- I mean at least they are getting bonuses.
- Their overtime pay is going to be crazy then.
- Well they aren't forced to work 100 hours a week, they could just, ya know, quit.
- If its so bad, why do they still work there?
In my line of work (transportation) it is quite easy, yes. No one is forcing them to work there.Yeah, because it's pretty easy to quit your job and find another one in the middle of a pandemic, right?
