Physical ailments and mental fatigue are two very different things. Imagine working a full-time schedule for however long only to release to the masses spewing comments such as, "Why did it take so long?.... 3 months for this?!!?... This game is shit... What a pathetic excuse for a Dev," etc. Every creator - good or bad - probably experiences some form of this harassment during their tenure, and I'm sure it feels unrelenting. There are only a few small pockets of individuals left that still practice the art of constructive criticism.How comes that this devs with such a comfortable work place have such problems with there health. (think about it)
Not to say what you described above doesn't happen - I'm sure there are devs that take advantage of the online format. But this working environment could be considered as toxic as it gets. Sitting in a comfy chair that's surrounded by air conditioning doesn't water down all the venom thrown their way, whether it's deserved or not.
