A new union survey raised further concerns about crunch culture in game development, with more than half experiencing crunch in the past two years.
As reported by IGN, the entertainment union known as the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) collected data from hundreds of AAA, mobile, and indie developers between March and mid-August 2023.
57% of those surveyed said they most recently worked on an AAA game. The average years of industry experience among developers who participated was 6.9 years, with less than half of respondents working for seven or more years in the industry.
