Gas Powered Games' Chris Taylor asks for less crazy hours for crazy programmers.
Chris Taylor is known for making incredible games. He was responsible for the most mod-able RTS ever, Total Annihilation, as well as the Dungeon Siege RPG. Currently, his latest project, Supreme Commander, is in stores right now. Now the well known developer wants the industry to move towards a more stable work-hour setup, so people can spend time with their families instead of in front of a computer screen.
I like the idea. Being overworked is not something ANYONE wants, and if it means more stability outside of work and possibly better games, I'm all for it.
Gamespot has more details here.
Got something constructive to say? By all means, rant away. Gonna blab about something unrelated and/or talk shit? Don't expect your comment to stick around.
