I am somewhat aware of what the japanese business culture is like. I've read about it but I have to admit I haven't experienced it (i would guess i have experienced something akin to it. employers try really really hard to go around laws. you need to look out for yourself. Unfortunatly i'm in a "business" where i can't just up and leave because that will hurt a third party who is not to blame. Of course your employer knows that so they really like to push the envelope)

But from the surface glimpses I have got it seems that Yoshi P at least tries to not be that type of boss. He has admitted to crunch but he has also delayed patches so the team would get some rest. I understand he's really good at PR speak but i don't think someone who has admitted to crunch would now try and make it sound like its "free time". I could be wrong but so far the signals i pick up on are that he tries to not do that. Granted there is a difference between intent and reality so I could totally be wrong.

I'm going to go do some reflection over this past year to find out why I changed so dramatically as this time last year I was defending their free time from others.
Look, I can tell you feel passionate about the Shadowbringer races (I would guess Hrothgar in particular) but there is a line that needs to be drawn. I'm glad you're able to take a step back. Being so passionate sometimes makes us lose sight that there are people who work on the game we love. It happens. Please don't beat yourself over it. Just try to do better next time
