Entitlement: Why I don't get it

unless Japan has some fucked up laws regarding vacation time.

Mandatory 5 days of paid vacation per year. Right to paid leave for 10~20 days per year. However due to corporate culture most workers in Japan are encouraged to work very long hours of overtime, so much so that it was the cause of 1/3 of Japanese suicides in 2011 iirc-- can't speak for the culture of SE but I would imagine there's at least a little bit of it going on because even in the West game development is subject to "crunch time" where teams work absurd hours to get games out the door.

It happens in any kind of development when a deadline is approaching, it's not just specific to games development. You can tell a lot of these people haven't had to work such a demanding job before where 50+ hour work weeks (including working weekends) is expected when it comes to the crunch time.
