Never work in the game industry. This sort of nonsense is business as usual.
Your managers will be pin-headed bean counters who don't care about your problems, just that you're not making them the amount of money they want.
Your employer will be a self-aggrandizing fascist who wants you to do what's best for him. Forget any social life you had before because you work for The Company now.
Your scheduler will be a total space cadet who thinks that you can do four years of work in eighteen months because his boss told him that eighteen months is a typical development cycle.
And finally, when all is said/screamed and done, when bridges have burned and your sanity hangs by a thread, you manager comes into the cube farm and says, "We've shipped! You're all fired!"
Welcome to the Biz. You can check out anytime you like and they hope you'll leave.
