> In practice what this often means for the developer is unpaid overtime (also known as "crunch time"), something very familiar to game developers, and also common in traditional software development, as the project nears its deadline. But those unpaid hours are actually costing you, the developer, because you can't get them back.

Sure you can. A good employer will give you time off in lieu later.

Of course, an even better employer would never let it come to that.
