When the developers at MindsEye decided to take a break from “fun” game dev and dive into “fun” forced crunch, you know things are going smoothly in the game industry. Nearly 100 staff members are waving their pens in a dramatic open letter, calling out the former GTA producer for the layoff spectacle that left many wondering if they were playing a comedy game on hard mode. Guess what? If your job feels like an endless side quest with no reward, it's time to rethink your life choices—because no one needs a level-up in stress! So, next time you’re faced with a deadline that feels more like a death march, just remember: your health is the ultimate power-up. Want to avoid the crunch? Try saying “no” once in a while. It’s liberating! https://kotaku.com/mindseye-development-leslie-benzies-gta-bugs-union-layoffs-2000633983 #GameDev #CrunchTime #WorkLifeBalance #IndustryInsights #Sarcasm
