How dare they ask people that they are paying to work, to do more work. These poor employees who have to sit warm, dry, fed for longer periods of times when a deadline draws near in an industry known for deadlines and crunch and not a 9 to 5. Rockstar need to lay these overworked people off, it's totally unfair that they have a time consuming and demanding job or give them all half their hours with half their pay and double the team size! That'll solve it. They shouldn't be allowed to choose to work, it's a social injustice and these people need to be laid off!

I'll never understand why people thinks it's alright to butt into other people life and career choices. Now rockstar will be forced to cut peoples hours to avoid backlash in the future and people who need the over time will be shot outta luck. Also, never believe a 'previous' employee of anything, they may not be exactly truthful.

Fire them all and make sure they have to break their backs with labour intensive jobs in the future with less hours and less pay! We can all agree that their lives are better when we choose their career paths for them? Right? How dare they choose their own way in life.

Seriously?  Rockstar doesn't need to cut people's hours, they need to manage their own time better before the final weeks of the project.  You do realize that "Crunch" actually decreases productivity and imposes health risks on the employee, right?  But, f*ck it, what do you care as long as you get your GOTY?  Also, these aren't just the words of "previous employee's".  The co-founder of the studio bragged about the crunch because he mistakenly thought that kind of mismanagement was something to be proud of.
