GTA 6 devs have to opt-out of crunch, claim Rockstar North insiders, because it's baked into their contracts

  A place I used to work at would have “surges” where people were required to stay at work for 14 hours a day every day including the weekend to catch up on the backlog.

  Management itself admitted one month later that productivity had collapsed within one week and it was so bad that we were having less work done than with normal work hours.

  Isnt it delayed 2 yrs already? Was that not to avoid crunh? If not they were manipulating consumers and investors with intentionally false projections

    It was delayed two years because the game is stuck in dev hell. It doesn’t matter how fast you’re going if you can’t steer in the right direction.

    That is just business these days. The idea is to get away with it long enough before jumping out of the burning wreckage with your golden parachute, so that you can do it all over again somewhere else.
