Browsing Reddit last night and I came across a thread titled "What's the most insane thing you've put your body through?" This was the top response... no videogame is worth this and I really don't think this is an isolated experience
A screenshot from Reddit, part 1 of 2 of a comment - the text reads "Worked in the game industry shipping a game that rather unexpectedly became a global phenomenon that absolutely none of us were prepared for. Solution? Have producers coordinate teams in time zones across the world so that devs get to sleep but work continues. Except... as the more junior producer, I had no bargaining rights for time off, even for just a weekend. After over 18 months without a day off and not getting more than 3 hours of sleep at a time (gotta meet with those global teams!), my body just gave up. I ignored the resting heart rate of 120, blood pressure through the roof, constant migraines (industry standard, they say), but then tremors, Gl issues, memory & hair loss started to get me worried."
A screenshot from Reddit, part 2 of 2 of a comment - the text reads "Stupidly, the wake up call was my boss scolding me for underperforming while she was taking weekends off & reasonable amounts of vacation time. My arguments to HR fell on deaf ears and all I got back was "if you're serious about being a producer in this industry, you have to really want it." So I left the industry. It took 3 years to repair the bulk of the damage, but look: there's not a single corporate job out there that's worth your life. I don't care if it sounds like your dream job, it's still a company and you are expendable to them."

Wildly ambitious and overwhelming in scope, packed to the brim with potential. As someone who got sucked into Skyrim I hope they can pull it off.

Whether it's in the vastness of space, on the surface of a planet, or the alleyways of a city, you never know what you'll come across... #Starfield

Big fan of online criticism, think it’s great for players and game devs alike. Great stuff. But boy do some of you go off the rails when theorising about HOW a project ended up a certain way. Expertise in a field is about knowing what you don’t know, and couldn’t possibly know.
