Now that the programmers and artists are fixed up, reckon there'll be alot of trickling down through the rest of the industry? How's the industry been since the whole EA overtime came about? Thoughts?

I don't think anything will change.. If you work for a sweatshop or some backyard garage operation, you'll continue to work an 80 week. If you find employment in an organised professional outfit you'll work a 40 hour week. Both types of operations and everything in between will continue to exist.
