Hearing stories of crunch time took the love of development away from me for a number of years, ended up going into InfoSec. I realized going indie is the way to go, make a bunch of money and quit to dev on your own for a while, or find a low-responsibility job that gives you enough hours to pursue your passion while living frugally. Musicians and other artists have known this is the way for a long time, and right from the beginning they learn to accept it for what it is. We game devs are, in a certain way, artists too, and our job is no different from those of the classical artists.
