NEW: For the last seven weeks, Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to finish an internal demo of their next game, Intergalactic. The game won't be out until 2027, leaving some staff wondering: If they're crunching now, what will next year ...
What if there are 10,000 H-1Bs fresh from India who want to do your job for half what you make, and they're 60% as talented?
The solution to that is to eliminate the H-1B program. Outlawing overtime wouldn't save them from being replaced by H-1Bs anyway, but it might help push the entire industry somewhere overtime is allowed, in which case they lose their jobs entirely.
