Game Industry?

Are you aware of hours and work situations in the industry? Probably depends where you are, but my understanding is that it’s common to work nonstop insane overtime (like all you do is sleep 4-5 hours a day and work). Big studios are frequently given ridiculous launch schedules and are extorted into uncompensated overtime in a backhanded way.

Then again, seems like the indie game scene these days is blossoming and easier to get into than ever.
