From Polygon: "In late 2017, development studio TT Games began work on Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga at a time when dozens inside the company were at odds with management. Citing frustration over tight development schedules, the company’s crunch culture, and outdated development tools, more than 20 current and former TT Games employees tell Polygon that calls for change over the years had largely been ignored.
Multiple people who worked at the studio remember breaking down outside of work hours because of the workload and some of the stresses they were under."
You know the industry is in a bit of a state when developers at a studio have to go through crunch over a LEGO game.
That's unfortunate, nobody should have to go through crunch.
I will never understand why crunch is such a huge thing in video game culture. Can there ever not be crunch? Lol
Yea and? This happens with a lot of things that have deadlines in many different industries. Are we going to have a freaking article for every game developed?
Back in the day people slept under the desks in the offices. If they aren’t doing that now, things have improved.
Is there online coop?
