Crunch is once again in the spotlight after a damning report on the culture at Naughty Dog revealed worrying working practices.
In a superb report by Kotaku’s Jason Schreier, development sources expressed concern at the ability of staff at Naughty Dog to continue working under brutal crunch conditions.
The report reveals how delays to the upcoming The Last of Us 2 only continue the crunch at Sony’s celebrated studio, rather than alleviate it – and burnout has caused Naughty Dog staff to leave.
