Fuck crunch, I don't get why people subjected to it don't just leave after their day is over. Not like studios or producers will fire them all and risk tanking the launch sales and reviews with a broken game... well, not more than usual!

    Romanticized view of giving yourself up for the cause.

    You often meet the same philosophy in kitchen staff.

    Probably yeah. Pretty sad tho. I think it's time people realise that, unless working for charities or government entities, most of them are ultimately working for maximizing profits and not much else.

    Nobody's going to get hurt or die? FUCKING PUNCH OUT. There's always tomorrow...

    I guess it is weaponized basic needs.

    Esteem Needs: The pursuit of self-respect and the desire for status, recognition, and appreciation from the people around you.

    Self-Actualization: The personal drive to reach your full potential, grow your talents, and find true self-fulfillment.
