Didn’t know they krunched their employees.
Link?
It was in here earlier, I try to find it.
I saw something about that a couple weeks ago on eventhubs but really didn’t read the article, I did however just find that article about that just right now that I googled nrs employees.
I agree that’s pretty shitty.
*edit- also I apologize if posting links to other gaming forums isn’t allowed, if that’s the case then just delete sorry.
Well found it too
A bit to late it seems.
Anyway knowing the western market and work conditions for videogames.
I do not thinkt that this is off even a bit.
EA and Activision fire people who get sick or want vacations, while having high worktimes themself and not good work enviorments either.
Like I said supporting NRS is a bad idea, then rather support Capcom, SFV is trash, but at least it’s not slave made trash.
Where are you from? I’ll probably be trying out seth/naoto when the dlc drops for bbtag

I won’t stan for NRS, they are as guilty as most game studios of near slave labor, but if you believe for a second that the Japanese industry isn’t as bad or worse, lol

In Japan they call it Tuesday.
Also, I’m not as sympathetic to that as other people. Literally every career path has crunch periods.
When I worked as a stock broker years back, work hours was 8am to 6pm.
There was no lunch break. Someone in the team had to buy lunch for everyone else on a rotational basis. If you took too long to buy lunch, you get yelled at.
If you arrived at 801am, you’ll get yelled at. If you go to the toilet for more than 5 minutes, you’ll get yelled at. I was supposed to work during public holidays too. IDK if that’s called crunch. But it was the norm. Oh and if you leave at 6pm on the dot, you get “noticed”.
The lunch break was reinstated only in 2017. I left the industry in 2014 to pursue my passion. Film acting and piano teaching on the side.
Every year I have Tax Season, my friends who work construction often have more hours towards the end of a project, retail works mad hours at Christmas, landlords during busy season.

No clue who I’ma go with, haven’t played since almost launch but it was super fun then. Ironically enough I was too hooked into sf5.
Japanese society is compeltly different 60 hour weeks are normal, 80 can be average(depending on your Job).
They see their Job completly different from us westerners.
But yeah whiteknight slave labor, must protect NRS gur gur.
I lost track of the times I couldn’t take a break, lunch, a piss or clock out while I was working for the sheriffs office.
Oh you only been here for 9 and a half hours? We gonna need you till ya hit 12, back to work. Even had a few times where we had get some zzz’s in the breakroom and go right back to work. Whew that job was shit, but I was making mutha fuckin’ bank.
And they kick me out of the office when my shift is over.
you’d be hard pressed finding someone who actively wants you around longer than you’re contracted

How many hours do you all have in SFV as of now?
Yall talking about these work experiences straight out of my worst nightmares. Cipher talking about 80hr work weeks in Japan? Why even be alive at that point Jesus Christ.
I can’t imagine any scenario where working any more than a week or two of that doesn’t end with me doing a backflip off a skyscraper or walking into my bosses office with a Mac-11.
