>>45109686Game Freak don't crunch kid. Their work week is Mon-Fri 40 hrs/week only, no weekend office hours, flexible shifts and even before the pandemic, working from home allowances. They offer 4 weeks paid holiday time off a year as well as ALL Japanese public holidays as paid time off and are the sole reason for nip twitter having such a hateboner for Masuda and co getting to go home for the day at 5 P.M.
They offer one of the best employment packages in the Japanese game development industry, but because they aren't making Pokémon for you any more, you gotta shit on them any way you can to cope, eh? ESPECIALLY when they're just continuing to do what they've always done and shat out a new Gen every three years, barring development fuck-ups.
