CDPR also saw no place for a crunch culture in game development... Until they did

Crunch is only necessary if something has already gone pretty seriously wrong, either it was feature creep or the time scales were unrealistic, or you pull a Bethesda and try to build a game that's way outside the scope of your own ancient game engine.
