That's just a bad way to run a company

Oh? What gave it away? The unassailable fact that this "project" has sucked up millions upon millions of dollars and dragged on for years with fuck all to show for it, and now they've added violations of labor laws to their pre-event ramp up where they'll, yet again, show "teasers" for a somehow still unfinished game with no release date, et al?

Maybe something in there was a clue that this is a sham, and always has been? ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

725 million actually. I think it is almost double the next expensive game.

They are trying to do something on a never-before scale, but the company seems to have been run like complete shit.

They better get great overtime pay or be able to take like 2 weeks extra paid holiday after this bullshit, but I would guess not.

from the article it sounds like they aren't getting overtime pay, or any pay at all for the extra work days. instead they've been promised some extra paid days off in the future, but only after their current project ends, and only if they don't get laid off by that point.
