I've worked 90 hr weeks before and in an industry not nearly as sexy as electronic gaming. I think what EA is doing is deplorable, but its actually the norm in places like Japan. I have a friend whose an Air traffic controller. He puts in roughly 75 hrs a week and loves it. Then again he gets paid about $130,000 a year. What makes my blood boil in this story is EA hires a person under certain conditions, and then changes those conditions drastically without any compensation. That should be illegal. But I have yet to work for a company that hasn't done it to some extent. Bottom line is: if you don't like the work load and/or salary, change jobs, change careers. That's what I did. I even went so far as to change countries cause I didn't like where the country I was living was going.
