I had really hoped CDPR had learned from their mistakes with Witcher 3 about crunch hours and overworking their developers. I've seen comments about how it's "not as bad as crunch in other companies"... but that doesn't make it okay. Crunch should never be a thing to begin with.
Honestly I'd have been fine with waiting another year or two if it meant that CDPR didn't have to be yet another soulless corporation that works employees to death to meet self imposed deadlines. CDPR as a company does so many things better than 99% of game companies out there. Like not filling their games with loot boxes and micro-transactions. Not chopping up their games to be sold for three times the price to get the full experience by witholding content. By putting out DLC that are actual content full expansions and not just pathetic cash grabs or bits of cut content being sold back to us.
To hear that they're still going to rely on crunch is very disappointing. I really hope they can be better than this.
