How shitty is the new player experience in this game?

how much of modern culture do we owe to Atari shitting the bed? If ET doesn't crash the games market, nintendo never gets a foothold in the west, america remains oblivious to japanese culture, anime doesn't proliferate among neets, 4chan is never founded, the internet gets its cultural hand-me-downs from something entirely different, the information age as we know it is unrecognizable

Crunch is common on all large projects from business projects to construction projects. Why do game devs think they're special in that regards?
