Little Tiny Frogs with Brad Wardell

EA Spouse talks about life as a PC game developer

Published on Thursday, November 11, 2004 By Brad Wardell In PC Gaming

This is definitely worth reading.  Here at Stardock, we rarely work crazy hours. 40 to 50 hours per week is  more typical for most people here except during crunch hours where it might go up to 60 hours for a few weeks.

But what you're seeing at EA and other game companies - 80 hours per week - is pretty typical in the game industry.
