Boy did that backfire on them.

Some executive at Rockstar bragged about the team on RDR2 having to pull 100 hour work weeks in order to make deadline and acted like it was some badge of honor and the internet turned on them over it. Myself included, kind of.

A 100 hour work week is insanely unhealthy and bragging about making your employees do that is atrocious. The most I've ever worked in a week was just under 70 this summer for about two weeks straight and it was MISERABLE. I can't imagine multiple 100 hour weeks, even if it was doing something I really loved.

Rockstar tried to walk the comments back but people have come out of the wood work in the games industry to talk about how volatile and brutal the business is for lower level employees. Some of these stories are peak capitalism failure to be honest and it makes me really consider what companies I wanna support with my money.
