> Ugh. This sounds like the excuse a boss at EA would give when forcing his employees to work eighty hour weeks I don' think that's true at all - I think it's reasonable to ask that people who develop games are really into games... That doesn't mean they should be taken advantage of. You still need to pay them well, or they'll go work for your competition, or start their own company. There are a lot of talented developers who want to develop games, so employers shouldn't have a hard time finding the right people. It's not like run-of-the-mill business admin software. For that, you actually need to pay people more to get them motivated.
