CD Projekt was accused of abusive work conditions for Witcher 3, and stories about Rockstar's death marches surface after almost everything they release. I think good conditions at AAA studios are outliers. Game development is my dream job but I'm glad I didn't go down that path.

>CD Projekt was accused of abusive work conditions for Witcher 3

Yeah, I though about that when I played it: "Is CDP really this much bigger than Bethesda? Probably not..."

I'm still disappointed about having my suspicion confirmed.

But to add to the discussion: Funcom (of Norway) was often in trouble with the labor regulator for "mattress-in-office" working conditions, even though they had massive goodwill due to being the only big Norwegian studio at the time. I suspect the only reason I haven't heard something bad about Red Thread Games is because they're too small to be noticed.
