Working conditions Henning described. Insane work hours, with little to not break between projects. Some people not even going home for the week. Many of them very stressed out. Poor working conditions overall. Why she now works at EA. They let her have a smaller staff and have more time to work on a project with less hours a week.

So.... just like pretty much every other video game studio on the planet. I've slept under my desk more than one occassion. It's the norm for the industry, not the exception.

Nope not at all, well not in the UK anyway. I've heard stories that it used to happen in the UK perhaps 20 years ago, but these days, what with employment laws etc. I've seen people do crazy 7 day weeks, 12 hour+ days, but not sleeping at the desk. Some people are crazy and actually enjoy doing the hours and stay way longer than everyone else, thats more of a problem with that individual than the company.
