Development of ‘LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga’ led to crunch culture at TT Games
TT Games had to undergo during the development of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.According to the Polygon report, over 20 current and former TT Games employees have described the tight development schedules and stressful amounts of workload, with some remembering breaking down outside of work hours.Throughout the development of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga – which began in 2017 and has been delayed several times – staff were reportedly pressured into crunch, with one former employee saying, “It was very soft-spoken blackmail. If people don’t start doing overtime, there’s going to be problems.”Elsewhere six former employees who worked under Jon Burton, co-founder and creative director at TT Games, said that he would yell at staff to return to their desks when work hours were over and would regularly expect employees to put in extra hours.
