PCGamesN: W40k: Inquisitor - Martyr devs promise to work 90 hour weeks as apology for delay
- Thread starter Deleted member 873
- Start date
I mean, why not chime in that thread you mention instead of derail this one? Was that thing you reference really a blanket statement implying they wish for companies to be overworking employees or maybe something akin to companies starting Switch ports in particular earlier/with additional funds (so additional staff) rather than an afterthought leading to delays of that version alone? Not that I agree that's anti consumer but at least it makes sense to be miffed about that if you have a Switch and want games coming to it sooner rather than later. Either way, can't know shit other than your snipe at it since you don't even link to that thread so I have to ask here instead of check it out. And how is this pro-consumer according to such a thread when there's already this "anti-consumer" delay which they say they'll make more useful for the game by working extra during it? Sigh, so many questions that belong elsewhere.
I can't wait until the games releases and someone somewhere has a complain about the game, and uses the term "lazy devs" at some point.
@Devs. Don't do it, it's not worth it

This reminds me of Crytek bragging about all the meals they catered during crunch.
Like, maybe don't do that? Christ.

Yeah no please don't do this devs! Don't strain yourselves to release the game! It's not going to help!
Pretty sure they are doing this cause they pissed off their overlords Games Workshop. No way I think they would do this normally if there's not a whip being cracked
I understand trying to polish a game while it is delayed, but this is way overkill.
Please take your time devs, doing this will just cause more problems than solutions.

To reiterate on my posts from the other thread:
Devs, please don't do this. I know you think you're making it up to the fans by doing this, but if that's your goal you're just going to degrade your quality of work.
As tons have pointed out (including to a reply to me in that thread), trading your health and wellbeing for an earlier release is absolutely not a valid trade. Don't.

Why haven't others already? Happy to do it but it'll be a huge undertaking.
It would be a problem to release the game after E3. They probably need to release it then but they shouldn't take 90 hour shifts.
Polish up the first half reduce the hours to 70 and hopefully you can squeeze out a decent endgame during the first 10 days of sales.

Nothing kills your passion faster than working on your dream project for 90+ hours a week.

Why not ignore my post and move along instead of derailing the thread yourself? I mean, you're literally the only person that quoted my post.
Here's the thread btw:

I'm starting to wonder if it's impossible to make a joke on the internet anymore without over zealous fans immediately starting on these over aggressive tirades. Just chill the fuck out.
Apologizing to whom? Who needs apologies?

The fuck devs, don't do this shit. ;/

We should tweet them to stop this madness and even get some kinda hashtag trending like #StopCrunch or something.
I've been on the dev side of crunch on this scale and it sucks, plus it's simply not productive, or at least it wasn't for me. I don't think my health suffered too drastically but I was in my early-to-mid 20s so I think I got off lightly, but I wouldn't do OT on that scale again. It affects people differently too, for someone with kids or other dependent family a 90 hour workweek has a devastating affect on their life. I don't think it was worth it for me or for the company. I'm really glad to see some backlash about their decision here and on Twitter and I hope it has some positive change.
Maybe they should just release it as 'early access', haha.

It's like the all the devs were procrastinating everytime they could so the management decided it would teach them a lesson but putting those devs in crunch sessions and it was also a good idea to let us know they are doing that for the reasons. I don't know if want that studio to be closed for such gross treatment to their employees or jsut tell to them to chill out and make everyone workin the regular hours. Stupidity is a wonderful thing, right?
At the very least, it's nice to see the replies to the tweet and seeing the support they get.

Working 90 in front of a computer is insane. I'd go mad. People in my industry and related industries routinely work these kind of hours, but it is a lot easier (mentally, at least) when you are working with your hands/outdoors. Sitting in a chair staring into bright monitors all day would be horrible.
