"You're sitting at your desk for 12 hours a day, but you're getting eight hours of work done," he said. "Then you're sitting 14 hours a day to get eight hours of work done." "And then, you're doing 14 hour days and only getting 4 hours of work done." — @TrentOster
Crunch for a week or two can be necessary and useful.
"But when weeks become months, the value of crunch plummets.
@TrentOster says while he was working at BioWare they actively tried to avoid crunch. If crunch is required, he says, it's because something has gone wrong."
Got a lot of respect for Trent, his attitude and his projects. I'm in the camp where crunch to get over the finish line is an almost unavoidable thing that happens for a couple weeks approaching launch after which everyone gets compensatory paid leave. 100% not to be sustained.
If you're crunching regularly, there's huge issues in scope/production/leadership/project management/name your poison, but I've also been on well-managed crunch teams where morale was high and camaraderie was through the roof. Unified towards a common goal, it can be done well.
I remember in the 90’s and early 2000’s crunch was the last 2-4 days before final build went good to media production... it’s grown over the years and how it’s crunch from beta to day 1 patch and first major dlc which can be 6 months. People cant sustain that any more.
I wasn't in the industry then, so can't really speak personally for how it's changed over time. But yes, crunch for a week or two is one thing; crunch for 6 months however is just not sustainable. People burnout within a month or 2, and will take *triple* that time to recover...
