Apparently crunch is rank-order now because Kojima's tweet offered no context so we shouldn't assume anything. But even if it's bad it's not that bad because it happens in every studio, his tweet is "vague," crunch could imply light crunch and not "crunch-crunch," and whatever other excuse I can pull out of my ass to spare Kojima from criticism.
No it shouldn't, it should be incredibly perplexing that Kojima would put that out in a tweet especially with the recent industry conversations. This crunch is also most likely avoidable which is the main issue, do you think Sony would say no to a delay?
You realise that they work on other WB games right, like Arkham Knight.
No. It's always news. We should always be reminded of this practice because it's a human rights concern.
Nowhere near as often and it's not a good thing, workaholism in Japan is incredibly common and very much encouraged and baked in. It's incredibly dangerous and people over there have been trying to get this to change without much luck: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-39981997
Nope, they are a support studio as well, they worked on the main game.
A large portion of Era hates Kojima, every thread about him is a shitheap.
It doesn't ? we have a vague tweet from Kojima about "crunching" whatever that means for him, versus a bunch of article from Kotaku and others about the insane working conditions at EA, Rockstar etc...
Uh yeah? Obviously there are. I'm sure you've stayed late at work to finish something before, then there are devs who crunch 24/7 for several months in a row, and then there is everything in between.
Perhaps they are just doing lots of crunches as part of their routine?
Lol I think that "large portion" just likes to make fun of him cuz he's a weirdo and it's easy, which his stans then interpret as "hate" because it makes them upset to see their idol mocked
Your statement would be true if the majority of reactions here were "hold up, we don't know how much time they're actually putting in". But lots of people are just saying "Every studio crunches, this is normal", which is absolutely not the same thing.
How do you know it is extreme crunch. I don't understand the absurd outrage of what we DON'T know...

Hate is probably shortcut language, but it's still pretty irritating having every thread filled with 75% spam posts consisting of the usual regurgitated "not so revolutionary after all! wake up sheeple!!", "this movie is gonna suck LOL got im", "he wants this to be good? how pretentious" etc
I'll make some post making fun of him for Quiet, someone jumps in and gets riled up about it, the reality is I'll play the game if impressions are good, really don't give two shits about Kojima, just think it's funny to make fun of him because he's turning himself into a joke as it is and all his fans get enraged when he is questioned lol
funny cause that was literally a definition of hivemind just reworded lol
No one said they were, they were amongst a number of studios that Stygr posted. One you chose to single out for obvious reasons. So take PG as one example, puts out best in class games every two years (actually a year and 8 months of dev time.) There is one great example, how about Media Molecule? etc
