Based on interviews with more than 30 current and former TT Games employees, Polygon’s report paints a bleak picture which includes crunch on several Lego games in the studio’s past.

There are also allegations of workplace bullying, managers who would yell at employees to return to their desks if they attempted to go home on time, and a substantial gender pay gap and lack of women in senior roles.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has allegedly been no different, despite the studio having more time to work on the project. The studio has allegedly still been crunching, with several employees citing the move to a new, unfinished and internally developed engine called NTT as one of the causes of delays.
