Haven't read the article, I will after this post, but I am getting bored with video games now. They are so one dimensional and bland. They need to be more abstract evoke more emotion, real talk. They can do so much more with games, but leave so much to be desired. Like the Call of Duty franchise and madden for example and even GTA 5 could of done more.

PS4 and XB1 just did 1st and 2nd best ever launches ................. #justsaying

I agree with their last point. The hours that game programmers work, especially when a game is about to launch, is borderline slavery.

I stepped out the box I play pretty much all genre of video games. I named those since those franchises are the most complained about and popular. People buy the new madden and cod even though they get new reviews and are pretty much the same thing.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that, for the vast majority of studios in the game industry, working conditions are awful, and the burnout rate is pandemic. The frantic period before a game releases is called crunch time, and it's marked by 60- to 80-hour weeks. And "crunch time" can last up to a year. No, it's not as bad a job as that guy who has to crawl up the constipated elephant's butt at the zoo, but it's bad enough that it's hurting the games. The best and brightest veterans get driven away.
