Well imagine working 8-12 hour days, and even crunching for 12+ hours towards the end of production and having to sacrifice your free time, friend time, and loved ones time for a couple of YEARS in production. Then the day the game launches you IMMEDIATELY start working on DLC, patches, etc. This would suck. MOST companies, like bungie, take a month to 3 month vacation break to allow thier workers who have just worked ungodly hours into the night staring at a computer screen for sometimes 12+ hours a day for a few YEARS straight, 5-6 days a week. Woopdy doo your DLC takes 9 months to get announced, at least the workers get some family time.
