What will come from developer Ghost Story Games / Blood, sweat, and games. Is the cost of ones sanity worth a game? - a podcast by Ben

Ghost Story games is working on something new for us.  What could it be?  I have high hopes from the director who brought us games such as Bioshock Infinite.  Also, what really goes into  the making of our video games?  Blood, sweat, and games.  Is the cost of ones sanity worth a game?  Developers work in harsh conditions for our benefit.  When does it go too far when it comes down to what we play?  Some do it because they love it but you must also strike a balance with work life and personal life.
