First, let's note that nobody is being forced to work 6 days a week. These people have taken this job, and they stay in this job of their own free will. Everybody knows that there's crunch in the last few months before big AAA games launch. I know it sucks for people in the middle of that much of the time, but it's a reality of working in the industry. I don't feel sorry for the employees, generally speaking. If you want to avoid having to work 60-hour weeks for a few months every couple of years, get in a different business.
