Here is how hard game developers actually work

Long working hours have become standard in the gaming industry, as developers are bound into contracts that don't provide for any normal work hours or overtime pay.

Looks pretty tame to me.

Only problem with game dev is that they're not paid well. Long hours are easier to endure when suitably compensated.

Try building bespoke products for clients in enterprises or with startups. I spent 480 hours (on my own) last month on a project...

Taking OT out of the question, do devs (anyone on this forum) feel that they're compensated well enough for their efforts on a month-to-month basis?

Do non-gaming devs earn a decent buck here in SA?
