I just have this image of people sitting in uncomfortable chairs, chained to their desks, alternating between weeping uncontrollably because they've been working for 72 hours straight and peeing into empty water bottles because they're not allowed to leave their desks.
Then things start looking a little better, and someone runs in and says OH **** ALL THE NA/EU SERVERS JUST CRASHED and all the peons start trying to find ways to jump out the windows.
I work in the game industry and I can tell you this is how it is even when it's not launch week. Any entry level programmers are working 60+ hours a week minimum. If they don't like it they either quit or get fired. There is always another entry level guy that doesn't know any better waiting to take your spot.
