Considering I just spend the last month putting in 80+ hour weeks along with all of my co-workers, might I humbly suggest you put "n=1" after your post? Then again, I work in video games. Long hours are the industry standard.


I hope the 80 hour standard doesn't spread to the rest of the world, lest the games biz loses all the talented workforce with any sense ;)


Most are already leaving.

I was in the industry and left, and I know many that people I worked with have left as well after about 10 years.

In the UK, I might be mistaken as I read the article a while ago, but it is the (or top 5) industry where people spend less time compared to other creative/professional careers.
