ReleaseID: 570587

AUSTIN, TX / ACCESSWIRE / December 17, 2019 / It's an all-too-common scenario in the world of video game development: for months on end, developers will put in massive amounts of hours, culminating in the last few months before release-or, the "crunch"-wherein it's not an uncommon sight to find a weary developer sleeping in their office for the third night in a row. This isn't a problem that plagues only smaller developers, Justin Williams Laser tells us, in fact, it's mostly well-known developers of AAA titles that have made the concept of crunch time so prolific.

The Proliferation of Crunch Time

"Crunch time is a concept that has taken root in the culture of game development," Justin Williams Laser tells us, "that seems to not be going anywhere, despite the recent public outcry surrounding it." Indeed, as Justin Williams Laser attests, crunch time is receiving more public attention than in previous years: there have been multiple exposés surrounding high-profile game companies, such as Rockstar, developer of the popular Grand Theft Auto series of video games.

The article, posted by Kotaku in 2018, describes the "crunch" culture of Rockstar, including mandatory overtime and up to 80 hour work weeks during peak crunch. It wasn't always this way: as described in the article, mandatory overtime wasn't instated until 2017, and the length of the workweeks is usually directly proportional to how close to launch the game is. "This is the dangerous aspect behind the concept of crunch culture", Justin Williams Laser explains, "it seems justified at the time, but once a company sees that it can squeeze more out of its employees, a lot of times it's hard for them to go back."

How We Can Stop Crunch Time

Of course, Rockstar isn't the only company accused of taking advantage of crunch. The problem is industry-wide, with big names such as EA, Epic Games, and even Nintendo being called out on harsh working conditions. These sorts of accusations are nothing new, Justin Williams Laser points out: as far back as 2011, you can find articles detailing video game crunch time and postulating how companies can treat their employees better while retaining the quality of their product.

However, with the recent wave of companies being called out on their working conditions, it seems development teams are taking note. More games are being delayed by developers for the benefit of the mental and physical health of their employees, and it seems as though the public is more than understanding. Justin Williams Laser points out one specific recent instance of Nintendo delaying the release of a new game in the Animal Crossing series in order to preserve their employee's work/life balance and avoid crunch time.

In Justin Williams Laser's opinion, this is a step in the right direction, but the industry still has a long way to go. Historically, development teams have been notoriously un-unionized. A recent poll of game developers, published in January 2019, revealed more than half of them were in favor of unionization. Unionizing would undoubtedly help combat poor working conditions, but at the end of the day, says Justin Williams Laser, it's up to the management of these high-profile companies to ensure the health and well-being of their employees.

The premier mobile app solving rental woes receives venture funding to expand reach

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 17, 2019 / Today, ROOM8, a data company optimizing co-living through roommate matching and apartment search services, has announced initial funding and plans for expansion to include new hires and increased platform capabilities.

A byproduct of the CSAA Insurance Group's Innovation initiative, ROOM8 is led by co-founders Jessica Chen, Alexis Valerio, and Dan Mathews. The team is working to build a more comprehensive alternative to the myriad of apps and websites Millennial and Gen Z renters have had to traditionally rely on when beginning their rental journey.

The first-of-its-kind-platform uses a proprietary roommate-matching algorithm to connect users, recommend rentals, and meet rising trends in co-living. Similar to a dating app, the iOS and Android mobile app recommends compatible roommates at no cost to users. The app allows users to browse potential roommate profiles, safely and securely video-chat with other users, review a real-time inventory of apartments and schedule tours with landlords.

"We're using technology to solve two of the biggest problems Millennial and Gen Z renters face today: putting nearly half of their income toward rent while balancing enormous student debt, and the sheer lack of solutions to address all of their unique rental needs," said Chen, CEO at ROOM8. "It can take months to find the right place and roommate, and even then, there can be more hoops to jump through before move-in. ROOM8 is solving these issues by streamlining the process and finding compatible roommates to help cut rent in half."

With plans to launch additional services in the coming year, ROOM8 has already found support from powerful investment partners who share the startup's vision for improving fair and equitable access to affordable financial tools to Millennial and Gen Z renters globally. ROOM8 has raised venture funding from Storm Ventures, Avanta Ventures, Alpana Ventures, and Plug and Play Ventures. In addition to broadened capabilities, ROOM8 also plans to make key hires in both Scottsdale, Arizona, and San Francisco, California.

"Storm Ventures is excited to partner with ROOM8 as they create co-living solutions for their customers," said Tae Hea Nahm, co-founding Managing Director at Storm Ventures. "Their team is addressing a quickly changing housing and financial culture, and with this new capital, we believe ROOM8 is well-positioned to support a new era of co-living," adds Frederik Groce, a Senior Associate at Storm Ventures.

"Investing in ROOM8 reflects our commitment to improving lives through data and AI, enabling people to find safe and secure housing," said Sanjiv Parikh, Managing Partner at Avanta Ventures. "Avanta Ventures invests in technologies that transform the customer experience, and our partnership with ROOM8 is a prime example."
