Long hours is a failure, we should know what failed so it doesn't happen again. Their response? That's just the way it is in games.

In my experience, that attitude is common and not limited to game developers or even programmers in general. American working culture tends to respect those who go above and beyond, or at least maintain the appearance of doing so.

I've only worked at two places that were like this and they were both shit shops. I think people who stay at these places don't understand it isn't by any means normal.
