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...
I’m interested to know what your EA experience was like, crunch was really bad for us in the UK back in about 2007-2012, now I find the studios are much more “human first”, we have a massage therapist who is on site twice a week, encouraged to use the gym & mindfulness sessions
I should add I have been with EA uk for 15 years now, although not directly involved in game dev anymore I spend a decent amount of time in criterion/ghost games & frostbite central tech. I get good feedback from all our devs these days.
