The part about withholding someone's final paycheck to hide production practices is a pretty shitty thing to do, regardless of who does it. I can't support such practices, nor do I support this slavery-oriented crunch culture in the game industry.
That said, it does seem like Cooper is on some sort of vendetta against Naughty Dog.
That's not to say his original allegations are wrong. Just that he may be misrepresenting certain things.
Doesn't seem that way at all. It's Jason's job to report this stuff. On the other hand, it's not Johnathan Cooper's job to humiliate his ex-peers by stealing their private info, twist it to suit his purpose and then share it publicly.

Unfair and oppressive work practices are condemnable without ifs and buts. As long as what is being said here also goes for Rockstar, CDPR, and others, I've no problem blaming ND and condemning the culture of crunch in general.

finding all those tweets must have taken a while, ah well ... at least ND crunch culture isn't that bad they have to apologize directly
you know your crunch culture is bad when you have to a/ promise you will reduce it but b/ fail to do so make preemptive statements about it a year later
no idea how that is a steal by wasting 3500 rupees per month and for games that are removed before you can finish them off.xbox gamepass is garbage with no local prices

Just finished Diablo 4 season in hurry to play Fallout 4 but gamepass released another banger in the form of Star Wars on April 25th. Gamepass is a steal man.
Is it just me or people lately seem to defend every bad game design decision made by the devs and try to give bullshit reasons for that? Or perhaps it's because I'm on reddit and discord
