You guys just need to learn "software time!"

I visited a company several months ago that told me a particular product would be available in mid-June. I said "Oh, okay, first week in August then." They looked at me kind of funny, like I didn't understand "mid-June" so they repeated, "no, mid-June" and I said "Right, first week in August."

Guess what just showed up a couple days ago ?

And this is a company that's pretty good about meeting deadlines. That's why I only added six weeks instead of six months. The last few details of the software always take the most time.

A friend of mine worked in the software gaming industry up until just recently. He was working such long hours for so long he finally burned out and went to work for a regular company as a data analyst or something like that. More money. Less hours. I thought slave labor had been abolished but apparently it's alive and well in the software gaming industry.

Overtime isn't too bad when you're getting paid for it, but too many people are doing it for nothing other than keeping their employer happy, which is really sad. I've done that myself in the past, but tbh, it was primarily because I had a lot of pride in my work & wanted to to the best job possible - even if it meant unpaid OT.
