20 Most WTF Video Game Moments Of The PS4, Xbox One & Nintendo Switch Generation
7. Crunch Culture Continues
In recent years there's been an increased criticism of video game publishers which propagate a culture of crunch, where employees are "encouraged" to work brutal overtime in order for a game to meet its production targets.
Most prominently, Rockstar Games were taken to task by former Kotaku sleuth Jason Schreier for the egregious crunch practises they employed to bring Red Dead Redemption II to market, and more recent reports that CD Projekt RED is putting its staff through hell to complete Cyberpunk 2077.
