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.

I can assure you that many studios North America still does things this way, and by that I mean "No one leaves until we get a stable build with these features up for QA to test". I'm not talking about 1-2 people sleeping at their desks. I'm talking about entire teams.
