Slashdot had this but I figure I'd post it here. The link goes to a Livejournal where the spouse of an EA game programmer talks about the unrelenting hardships the programmer went through. From the way it reads on /. and another live journal from a fired employee, EA is notorious for grinding its programmers hard.
