I have to agree with Chris. It seems absurd that this is even an
option for them to put you through. I work in software, not the gaming
industry, and if I was asked to work that many hours, I would be
quickly looking for work elsewhere. I would have a serious talk with
your supervisor in the meantime and see what you could do about
lessening the hours. And as Peter said, your productivity at 90 hours
is crap, I would even gamble it hurts the project doing that many
hours.
