You seem to think that crunch is mandatory in the industry. Crunch is the result of poorly-managed products and c-suite deadlines

Explain their launch then…

But did you even read that quote?

A lot of people that may have an issue with crunch - rightly so, I understand that issue, we always try and avoid it, but we don’t hide that this is going to happen at some point

They didn’t say a crunch was “mandatory” it’s not part of the planned process.

But (just like the launch) things will go badly and there will be a rush to fix it. That is a crunch.

The game is not finished, there’s up to two years of early access and a shit ton of stuff to be added. If the Devs promised there would be zero crunches, they would be lying.

Acknowledging that not everything will be perfect is the most important step in limiting how much goes wrong.

I don’t know how average adults don’t understand that.

Quick edit:

Now that I think about it, every post in this community is from the bot mod, and the only time there’s comments it’s always terrible takes. And mods apparently ban people for downvoting the bot spam…

I’m out.
