LA Noire: The Sweat Shop - Truth? Doubt? Lie?

[Hunter]

This is the story that is beginning to rear it's head, showing Team Bondi in a terrible light, and rightfully so it seems.

Imagine having to work between 80-110 hours per week for several weeks at a time, many times a year...

Long story short, Team Bondi are now under investigation regarding the treatment and working conditions of their employers during LA Noire's 7 year development.

Here is the IGN report on the issue - it's pretty lengthy so I'll just post the link as opposed to quoting the actual report:

Truth.

:huh:

Not surprised EA make people work crazy hours per week, but I'm surprised about this, I don't think many people appreciate the amount of work developers and the rest put into making a game.

I thought this was going to be a DLC thread lol.

edit: Good read. Fucking disgraceful though.

Now Rockstar will not publish Team Bondi's next game.

A shame I guess that it's came to this, but from what we've been reading it seems Team Bondi simply need new management that's all. They clearly have dedicated workers. Just file criminal charges against humanity towards the leader Brendan McNamara of Team Bondi, and get a few Rockstar managers over there to take over the company.
