I find these “shorter work weeks are just as effective” articles to be nonsense, at least for knowledge workers with some tactical discretion.
Why can't these nerds conceive of a world beyond the capitalist grindset?

Doing a tangent here. I would like to mention that good companies did actually create standards and tools to interact with what they produce so it was easy to create good content. Others were like: Just use C and ASM to add stuff.
Monkey Island had plenty of tools to make adding stuff easier, so did Star Craft with its level editors, UT, Half Life (somewhat) etc. etc. QuakeEd was not as friendly for complex stuff, it was also near impossible to run it and most resources you needed were missing.
Sometimes creating tools so that people can contribute with less intense knowledge requirements leads to nice stuff. Like the the custom maps scene in Brood War and War Craft 3 which spawned together with HL and UT mods plenty of what we see in the wild.
Edit
someone is arguing that Quake2 was the best FPS ever though: https://www.reddit.com/r/quake/comments/x2b07m/comment/ionjcno/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
