Working conditions in the gaming industry as a whole are not great, and British publisher TT Games is no exception. Employees at the Warner Bros-owned company have been working on Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga since 2017. But the game has been stalled repeatedly due to employee burnout, a lack of proper tech, high turnover, and issues with management.
Today, the game’s release date was revealed to be April 2022, but it may have come at a high cost. As revealed in a Polygon investigation, TT Games employees accused their bosses of blackmailing them by suggesting that if they didn’t work longer hours, “there’s going to be problems.”
