It does get coverage, often when something terrible happens like an intern committing suicide. But finance has been like this for decades and lots of people are aware of it, it's not news. The games industry crunch-time phenomenon is less well known outside of the software industry. Also, my impression is that after the EA "wivesgate" thing or whatever it was called, practices at the bigger studios got better. But maybe that's just rumour and speculation. I'd expect long hours at small firms no matter what industry they're in, by the nature of being smaller.
