    Crunches are regular and unfortunately common in software development. The difference here is star citizen devs are well compensated and given time in lieu

      … and that’s not good and needs to change. You forgot to write the important part.

      How did you come to this conclusion? IIRC their salaries are below average.

      Bullshit. First for you assuming I’m not well compensated for my work, and also assuming that compensation makes up for not seeing your family for weeks. Crunches are normal, mandated multiple weeks without a day off are not normal.

        Would you mind sharing what you think a crunch is if not for working overtime?

        I’m a dev too so well done and fuck you for being well compensated? Hahah
