Report claims Naughty Dog recently ordered employees take on "mandatory" overtime

Recent reports indicate that Naughty Dog has instituted mandatory overtime for its employees to meet deadlines for the demo of 'Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.' This move is likely to impact various roles, particularly artists and designers, who often face intense pressure as projects near completion.

Developers should be aware of the implications of such practices on team morale and productivity. While meeting deadlines is crucial, the long-term effects of mandatory overtime can lead to burnout and high turnover rates, which are detrimental to the creative process and overall project success.
