Got to train new employees somehow after you burn everyone out with massive crunch.
Why would anyone in programming work these 80+ hour crunch weeks in gaming or special effects studios when they can earn double the money working for 40 hours a week at a bank or something.
Not even at a bank, they could just work on the business side of gaming. Pretty sure even EA pays market wage and 40hr weeks for the people who figure out how to get the most out of selling FUT packs. It's less creative work, but fuck being on the creative side if it means getting treated like shit for worse pay.
