I’ve felt more balanced working in AAA games (just Q/A, but still) with several crunches and weekend night shift work, although the accounted work time was much longer. The main difference was that it was not possible to take any work home as everything was under secrecy, i.e. there was a clear boundary between work time and free time. Thus after going home there was no option but enjoying something without feeling guilty. Very liberal worktimes have their advantages though for night owls who sometimes only get their brain running with an afternoon walk. Research: Everyday is like Saturday, but you work on Saturdays.
