The Silent Collapse of AAA Gaming

Gaming is one of the most toxic industries you can work in, partly due to the fanatical crunch culture that is entrenched in it. 100-hour work weeks, no overtime or vacation days, and grinding for months on end. These are the horror stories that have come out of the industry for the last 30 years, and workers have had enough.

Employees at EA, Rockstar, Naughty Dog, Blizzard, Activision, and pretty much every gaming studio, big or small, have reported experiencing some form of crunch, leading to employee health issues, burnout, and studio collapses.

In this video, we explore the nightmare development of The Last of Us Part II and Red Dead Redemption 2. We look at why crunch culture is so pervasive in the gaming industry compared to television and film. And we look at how workers' unions are fighting back for gaming industry employees, and how the team behind Hollow Knight: Silksong is actively fighting against crunch culture.
