I'm curious, what did you experience in the game industry in order to believe anything?

Games industry is notorious for abusing their employees: mandatory weekend work for months at a time, etc.

Even when no one is being abused you have people who pour their lives into a game, knowing that they have a deadline. What they get into a particular game by a deadline can effectively define their career. Its not just a lot of pressure, its a lot of pressure with a lot of passion and a lot of visibility.
