I recall working on Forsaken 64 at Acclaim - 9 month's worth of hours in just 3 months, plus 3 all-nighters in the final week. I think I got 3 days off in return.

Shocking isn't it - Is it; a) a right of passage, b) character building, c) "just the nature of the beast", d) "it's a creative industry, you have to be flexible" or e) dreadful project management and/or no idea what constitutes to make the game fun.

It's not so bad if it's your choice; you're so enthused by a project that you lose track of time and suddenly it's 2am. But some AAA studios have overtime scheduled in from Day 1. It's exploitation, plain and simple, and it ruins lives/marriages/careers.
-
Hell yes, I've pulled many a long night of my own volition - I've worked with many that just want to in order to make a product better; that's OK (as long as it doesn't burn them out). But when it's mandated from the off and built in to the schedule, something is very wrong.
-
I mean, we put some hours into LEGO Star Wars Complete Saga, not because there was any mandate at all, because we absolutely believed in the product and wanted to push it as far as we could. You couldn't keep that pace up forever without losing your marbles or your relationship!

Some great times on that project and also some awful times.

For me it was the best development experience I've had on a game; I won't say there weren't ups and downs on it, but I think (don't know if if you agree) there was a real drive to make something special.

It was a good one to work on, but yeah, it was a grind too.

But it's all worth it to make other people very rich/give them multiple mansions/supercars.

Oh yeah! I forgot about that! Aforementioned person's boss went through three supercars in a year! Every cloud and all that.

Expected, unfortunately. Today I read somebody arguing more or less like "those are skilled pros in high demand, they can go somewhere else if they want to" [alluding, I think, to a crunch-free workplace] Guess it's not *that* easy after all. :-\
