The Professional Life of a Game Developer?

A friend pointed me to this link, which is a letter posted by a spouse of an Electronic Arts employee. Seeing that I haven't worked in the game industry, I can't really say just how common this is. However, with all the stories I've heard from developers that have worked in the game industry, my gut tells me that this story is entirely legitimate.

I thought if that just a couple of you readers posted this link on your blog, or shared the link with friends, maybe we could up awareness at least a tiny bit. I can't even start to say how to cure this problem, but one thing is for sure, everyone needs more awareness of this problem and to realize that they can do something to prevent this from occurring.

Share the love, people :).
