I am not sure if this topic was introduced previously, but I plan on becoming a game programmer for a respectable company, and I am currently working on my bachelors of science major for computer science at University of North Texas. Problem being, has anyone come around to reading 
ea_spouse.
Briefly it states how her husband is a programmer for Electronic Arts, and he works 90 hour weeks 9am-10pm for 7 days a week, and this is supposed to be only on their "crunched" time when they are striving to get a game out by deadline, but this is only supposed to be within a period of two weeks but ends up being several weeks. On top of that, they are by law should be making close to 90k annually, however it is more like 40k. And on top of that, they do not get paid overtime or other important things, such as vacation. They promise something simular to a week vacation after a project is finished, and they never get it. This brief statement is nothing compared to what is written. If you haven't read it, I think you should do so mainly because it concerns me and I would like to know what everyone else thinks of it.
Thanks
