I agree with most of the sentiment here, to the extent that asking someone who's on a straight salary with no overtime to work 60-80 hour work weeks is a despicable action. However, it takes two to tango, and the employee who chooses to take that abuse is also to blame. It's not like there is a dearth of jobs in the IT field, so I don't think EA really has their employees over a barrel. There are surely exceptions, and life situations that make leaving a job difficult, but if it's really a "sweatshop" as people say, the door opens both ways, and I have to place at least part of the blame on the poor sucker who decides to give up their freedom instead of finding a better job.
