Blood, Sweat, and Pixels : The Triumphant, Turbulent Stories Behind How Video Games are Made

Jason shows us behind the scene of the game developing. Crunches, depression, fights etc etc. One of the biggest cons of this book, if you don't love the game chapter tells and really don't care much about developing side it can be boring to you.

Entertaining recollection of the production experience of ten games developed in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Some people have a negative concept of the book because they think it lacks criticism about death marches, crunch and how the last stages of a game take precedence over every other life aspects of the team. I think the book has an inherent, and at times explicit, criticism of the game industry, specially of the North American one, but at the same time celebrates the outcome of publishing great games and the passion of the developers.
