"Ok screw using a keyboard for this game.  My spacebar on my G15 is a piece of crap, it's too high so when I try to jump off walls the jump doesn't register in time so I just slide down it.  My laptop is good though because the keys aren't as high.  Anyway so I plugged a gamepad into my PC it should go better now.

No man, it's not fixed. You should hold out for a while, and check up on it later. The patches have barely fixed anything. The game has terrible performance on computers that are more than capable of running the game at it's max, when it's at it's minimum. They have issues to say the least...

Depends on your hardware specs. I'm getting 30-60 fps with a GTS 250 running at max except for anti-alias set to 2x (anti-alias is a performance hog) and set at 1680x1050 resolution. Its playable.  Granted the optimization doesn't add up with the lack of any graphical changes, but you can't expect PC games to support hardware that's older than 3 years, especially in this day and age where PC ports are unoptimized as hell.

I play games all day every day. I have no life right now.

I haven't crashed once. There are performance issues, but after fiddling with the settings I have found a very nice balance, and it's running very well now.   
However, one of my friend's cannot start the game at all without crashing.

"... it was clear that Battlefield Bad Company 2 DLC was winning and would be the next DotW!!! I even went out and bought MS Points for it! So Microsoft... What The Hell?? "

In January I will start attending school for game design, and honestly, I am not that worried about crunch time. As Amilmitt said, I believe that overtime doesn't really become an issue until you dick around all the time. If you show up early and get crackin you can be out of there early. The workplace is filled with gamers. Creative, talented, and diverse people with similar interests and goals.   
 
To work in such an environment is a fantastic proposition, the time you spend at your job may not really seem like a crunch or a waste of your time if you really love the work you do and the people you do it with. 
 
 Besides for that, I plan on creating games with a small group, on a small budget, and releasing digitally. This would alleviate your "multi-million-dollar profit problem" 
 
Not every game is crunched out in 2 years by a giant company. If you hadn't noticed, the digital marketplace is growing steadily, and so are indies. When you are an independant Crunch time becomes your own definition of crunch time.
