The man is complaining that they've pushed him further than what they are allowed to do. The person is complaining because he was forced to do work for long periods of time without overtime, which is understandable, as it was during the crunch period - a few weeks before the release of the game, where they are expected to work extremely long hours.
He's just kicking up a stink because he is greedy. I'm digusted at him, especially as I hear that EA employees are treated a lot better than most game industry employees. A person who has visited one of the EA complexes had this to say:

It is just another case of another wealthy American just trying to get even wealthier. I've been to the EA campus and their employes work in the best atmosphere I've ever seen. They've got a gym, a pool, a very nice cafeteria, and awesome offices/cubicals. All software developers know that when release date is near, your life is development. It is sad but true.
