"Seven day crunch for two months"
 
(First if all, this is here because I think it's not really about games and more about an industry.)

...and this is why I think the gaming industry is carried on by teenagers or people with too much money.

As someone said in the comments, "it needs to grow up".

You mean like every 'geek' interest then?

Pretty much. I'm just more into games.

When I first heard about Crunch Periods, I assumed that everyone in the games industry were shit at task-scheduling and project planning. Now I presume it's more to do with developers promising too much and publishers demanding the impossible.

It's one of the several reasons why I changed my mind about wanting to work in the games industry.
