Don't extrapolate to the whole sector from a few high profile failures. There are places like e.g. Hello Games, who don't do crunch, and my friends at Ubisoft tell me they do only a little overtime right before shipping. If you watch SIGGRAPH, you can see a lot of good real-time graphics research come out of DICE, Epic, Unity. I doubt those people are doing much overtime either. Not that I would go work there, being a game developer is below my pay grade, but not every place is as bad as ActiBlizz.
