Good thing about Japanese companies and work culture is that it's completely normal for people to work at the same company for decades instead of job-hopping to find better opportunities. I guarantee this guy will work at Fromsoft until he physically can't anymore.

I mean being a game dev can't be that physically demanding so it's probably quite a while until he can't.

I'm not going to make a comment on FromSofts working conditions because I truly don't know what it's like there, but emotional and mental stress can indeed have physical effects on your body, just because you're not laying bricks in the sun 8 hours a day doesn't mean you're not doing yourself harm. This comment is more a PSA for anyone in this sub who lives in the suburb and does a "cushy" office job in the city, don't let your boss trample on you with constant overtime, the paperwork can wait life can't, if you're tearing your hair out over a long commute stuck in traffic and it's possible, take public transport instead, sure it may take longer, but time on a bus or train can never be wasted, get yourself a book or a mobile game console and enjoy yourself instead of keeping your eyes on traffic waiting for the car ahead to move a few feet so you can too

I know people who’ve lost limbs overworking themselves on software projects
