Do you have a hobby? Would you consider time spent on a hobby a waste? Especially in this case, where Andy and Jason went from what's called now "indie" (the last game they've made before Crash was the Way of the Warrior[1]) straight into the big AAA. Most people in the games industry won't ever have a chance to do this.

If I was required to do it for 16 hours a day every day, hell yes I would.
Some people's hobbies are things like mountain climbing or sailing. Those take many days/months at 24 hour a day. Some even do multi-day camping/skiing trips. Some even do vacations in other countries. These are all 24 hour a day.
Nobody enjoys crunch time. No one sleeps under their desk for three months, seeing their family one day a week, and thinks "I'm living the dream". They go along with it because they believe it's necessary to continue their career in gaming.
