The "days of Hades are awaiting" Kojima Productions

Seems like a (rather tone-deaf) reference to a Death Stranding plot point.
I am sure they are crunching like almost every other AAA studio, but I think this refers to the trailer mentioned Hades. Also, they probably have been crunching for a while now.
Doesn't matter, people need something to hate on Kojima for, now that he's set to complete the game ahead of everyone's expectations and can't be criticised for flying too much or posting pics on Instagram instead of making the game.
I get crunch toward the end of the majority of my deadlines (web developer) and I'm freelance and manage my time well. It's not always a toxic thing.
I will never understand how frustrated are those who need to throw shit on Kojima for every single thing he does.
Ha, I'm chill but people's hate boner for Kojima is something else.
There are no hate boners ITT though, so maybe wait until they pop up until you rage on them.
Recently i'm really getting the feeling this year was the first time this forum has ever heard of crunch
That tweet made me cringe for several reasons, I hope his team will be able to maintain some sort of work/life balance.

What hate? Which posts are you referring to?
thats not exclusive to kojima??? Most AAA productions/devs get shit on ERA . Have you seen posts about Rockstar? CDPR? Bethesda?Bioware? It comes with the territory
There's literally nothing to read into here. He's said this during, like, every game's development for 30 years or whatever. It's a tough period for anyone-- that's by the nature of the profession, especially when he's got his fingerprints on every aspect of development. What game's finishing stages haven't proven to be a challenge, for anyone, at any time?
More importantly, I don't think that's what the tweet is saying. The release date is known and he wants to meet it. His esoteric wording may throw us off, but I think that's what he's really getting at here.

Seems very odd to interpret that he's referencing crunch from this tweet. Considering English isn't his first language too. Seems like a definite reach and to claim it as fact is weird. They may be doing crunch but this tweet isn't evidence of that.

Actually, it is a Japanese term for Crunch. Not just for game development but for any kind of major Crunch in Business.
i think he is talking about people jumping to conclusions immediately from something that seems like its just a reference.
The Japanese language tweet literally has the wording for hell included with the romanisation for Hades in brackets.
You'd think with how much he obsesses over American movies and culture that he would have bothered to learn it at some point.
