I tend towards indie games generally, particularly single-dev games like Stardew Valley or a slew of incrementals out there, and I think by definition these issues don’t exist in those spheres. Beyond that I’m a big Nintendo fanboy and from what I’m given to understand Nintendo doesn’t churn and burn their employees as much, however they do work them to the absolute bone and demand nothing short of perfection which is its own kind of hostile workplace.

The only complaints I hear about Nintendo are they can be, uh, 'a tad' racist, and that working in Japan in general sucks. They said there's hope with the millennial Japanese though, who are much better at work/life balance, and less racist.
