Hella mandatory overtime.

Isn't overtime always optional?

In the same way keeping your job is optional, yes

Although in the case of the gaming industry: damned if you do, damned if you don't. Don't do crunch OT? Fired. Do crunch and ship the game? Also fired.

Game immediately sees profitability selling several thousands more units than was expected in a much shorter time frame than expected?

Believe it or not, also fired.
