My ex worked for [MAJOR VIDEO GAME PUBLISHER] and if he gets a job like that: say goodbye to your friends, family, nights and weekends.
I had dinner with my ex yesterday -- even tho [MAJOR VIDEO GAME] has been released for a while now there's DLCs coming out before the holidays and it's crunch AGAIN...my ex is working 6-7 days a week, 10am-10pm. The co has offices in several timezones so work is always flooding in, 24 hours a day.
I don't want to discourage anyone from following their dreams, and maybe indie vg publishing is a different beast, but I feel like this post potentially under-represents how crushing working in vg publishing can be.
