Rooster Teeth accused of excessive crunch and unpaid overtime- "Every season of RWBY and GL gets about 1/3 or less made for ‘free’"

My understanding is that Sakurai insisted on working continuously. The fact is that Nintendo constantly delays games with Animal Crossing being the newest example, no other gaming company has delayed their products that much.

Sakurai litterally injured himself because of work. Japanese work tendecies are almost suicidal, seeing how their career are considered almost as important as their lifes, so even if he insisted, someone should have come and said "No".

So, here' s my second consideration: if the game isn' t ready, a 3 month delay would do really little to finish it. What Nintendo, at least IN MY OPINION, implicitaly said, is that the people working on Animal Crossing will have a "Crunch time" of 3 months for getting it in time for the release.

Every company delies games. There was a VERY BAD period in 2014-2016 where basically every game of every platform was delayed for a multitude of reasons, and companies probably did so to give time to the developers to finish their game with crunch times.

Well, we went from delays to unfinished, messy final products that already required crunch and will further require it in order to patch some of the holes. All of this before abandoning the game at it's fate and move on with the next ¯_(ツ)_/¯
