they need to just give the game an indefinite delay until everything's ready. crunch time is always a result of s*** project management and arbitrary internal deadlines, and AAA game devs just don't care.

it's also very ironic that the game shoves anti-corporatism themes down your throat (aka the entire genre), but the company doesn't mind dabbling in borderline sweatshop labor to get it out.

Honestly not even mad. I can just focus on Assassins Creed Valhalla 100% now

people dont know how serious this is.
they really thought that this game is in a such bad state they should better delay and lose out the black friday sales

this is a huge red flag

resident evil village got your back until silent hills get canceled again

100 hour week sucks no matter what job and doing it in front of a screen definitely effects your health. I'd rather work a regular nursing job than do what they do lol

but not Christmas sales

yeah, felt the same way about red dead 2. brilliant criticism of American culture but difficult to separate it from s***ty labor practices

for now

U enjoy pain

imagine if they drop the current gen versions

we're like 9 months from the original release date too they delayed this s***, what, 4 times now?

I guarantee that the game is gonna be bugged the f*** out/poorly optimized on new gen consoles.

betrayal o brethren

If I had a base console id wait until reviews to cop, it's sounding real bad for them. Even ps4 pro I'm worried, thank God ps5 coming in soon

sad cyberpunk hours

depends on what kind of devs. Level designers , 3d artist get paid well. but i think the devs that work on bugs get paid 40k starting salary.

But idk anything about polish salaries.

polish average (minimum wage) salery is 500 euros

so nah not really good paid

prob and they get 10% of profits

Regardless of how well the game does, management or top guys should get fired. The deadlines they set were ridiculous.
Complete mismanagement has got them crunching for damn near a year

Thing is with that though is we don’t know how that 10% is distributed.

Most of it could go to project leads.

its sad to know that top aaa games cant be made without crunch

the last of us 2
red dead 2
cyberpunk 2077

wondering about japanese games (from software/sqaure/capcom). i think crunch must be the hardest there and to talk about, it is kinda hard

Japanese work ethic is completely different tho, ive Seen videos of regular salarymen in Japan working days like that and it's just a normal thing.

CRUNCH FREE GAME BTW

"We asked 'what's the plan if we can't deliver in the set deadline' and up until December the answer from management was 'we have to, there is no plan B', so here you go, first year of crunch there, of course, first a 2 month delay and then another 6 months of delay, and - to give a picture of how low is the level of communication between the management and developers - we found out both times ON TWITTER and other social that the game was being delayed, with a mail from Adam following few hours later."
