You are not developing prosthetic limps or teaching mentally-handicapped children how to read, you are programming a fucking game. If your boss wants to work you to death, you tell him to go ride a flag-pole.
And trust me, they don´t have to do this, there are other jobs out there for programmers.
Yes, they might not be as prestigious as programming a crappy iOS port of a crappy Windows game, but they pay well and are much less likely to cause you to jump from a bridge.
I´m sorry, this just makes me seriously angry.
How little do you have to value yourself, to put up with this bs? How little do you have to think of your family, your friends, your mental and physical health to do this kind of shit for more than a month before you walk out ?
You are not living the dream of being a game-dev, you are participating in a shitty reimagining of a fucking Dickens novel.
