obviously you havent played nightfire

you know i'm the one that unbanned you because I thought you deserved it right?

Sad thing, we all know that devs push their employees to their limits but they somehow get some recompence and that doesnt seem to happen at EA. TBH I'm feeling quite bad about playing EA games now lol

I would definitely endure it if it were worth it, but EA is EA. I'd love to work somewhere like Blizzard, in fact the crunch as a certain appeal to it - I know I perform a lot better when the pressure is on, because it kills off my rampant procrastination and when it's all over everyone is all buddy-buddy.

(I know some people are going to post "BUT OMG, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE" as if only they have to work weekends and overtime, though. Try doing that with something you hate doing.)
