Both my bosses work 80 hour shifts each week (sometimes working 30 hours in a row). They don't get paid millions to do a dream job. I find it hard to sympathise for poor Yoshi with his dream job and large salary. Just saying.

You'd be surprised how much game devs actually make.

Hint: It's not as much as you assume.

It might not be as much as he assumes, but it's plenty enough, trust me.

Is this thread serious ?

To the OP:

I often worry about Yoshida-san's health. A person can't live long without proper sleep. I wish he would take better care of himself! Not for us or the game.. but for his health!

--

Yoshida-san please take better care of yourself! We love you and want to see you around for a long time!

Edit: I worry about the rest of the dev team too. I bet there are a bunch there who don't get enough rest. Just, Yoshi-P states it quite clearly that he only gets 3 hours sometimes. :x

To everyone in SE: Take care of yourselves! That warning we have to click yes to when we log on the game, about not forgetting about friends, family, food, water, sleep... That applies to you too!!

This idea that Japan is the only place where stressful jobs manned by workaholics and that the American equivalent is sitting on our fat asses and eating is a major insult to Americans and also a view that a doubt any Japanese or American person in a high level business position adopt. Because you are not a hard working American you might believe that this is ok to do, But many of us work on frantic ~18 hour a day schedules and resent being reduced to fat lazy people.


Yoshi-P is not a slave; he chooses to put his manic energies into the thing he loves. He is also an adult how can choose to stop working at the pace he is at whenever he wants. He is not a slave of his society to be pitied, he is a man trying to apply his talent and energies to do something great with the time he has on this planet and being able to transform a failed MMO to a world-leading MMO would truly be unprecedented. We should look up to that.

I don't think anyone is pitying him.. O.o We just wish he'd rest a bit more. We know he's doing what he loves and can make his own decisions. And he's deciding to work extremely hard. Of course we respect that. But because we respect and love him, we wish he'd take more time to sleep and rest.

I remember the last few videos and pictures of Tanaka-san I saw, (before he stepped down I mean), he looked like he was going to fall over at any second. He didn't even look like he was in the same world as us - looked like he was zoning out. He looked like he could barely think. I felt horrible for him. He looked like he felt terrible.
I worry the same with happen to Yoshida-san. You can love what you do and do it so much that you neglect yourself. I've done it in the past too.. it's not healthy. You get sick.

Every time I see a picture or video of Yoshida-san, I ask myself, "Does he look like he's getting enough rest, or does he look half-dead?" I wanna see him happy and healthy looking.
