The FR admins say that they want to avoid "crunch time" for their coders. But now that I think about it, it doesn't make sense to me because aren't the main coders people who own the site and have equity? (Maybe Mutron/Kaepora don't but Akiri and Xhaz do)
Usually crunch time is awful because it means that management is telling employees to do more work for the sake of the company profiting. But in the case of Flight Rising, Akiri and Xhaztol ARE the company. And owning a small business often means putting in longer workdays than normal compared to working for a 9-5.
Obviously it's their company, and they can run it however they want. And by all means, the company has been very successful regardless. But the language just irks me. Like if you don't want to work extra time for your business, then don't. You don't have to make a statement to your players about it so people feel less bad.
