Quantic Dreams Is Struggling to Get Staff for Star Wars Eclipse
Quantic Dreams has faced scandals of workplace abuse in the past, and it may be coming back to bite them with Star Wars Eclipse. For some reason, the company that has a boss accused of saying homophobic slurs and that has people who photoshop your face onto porn is having a tough time hiring.
People have apparently heard about these incidents, and they are struggling to hire more staff for Star Wars Eclipse. This struggle to get staff could push the launch back all the way to 2027-2028. Announcing a game only to launch it over six years later isn’t exactly what most developers want.
Xfire’s Tom Henderson reported that they announced the game early to attract more staff to work on the project. After all, who wouldn’t want to work on a Star Wars game? Well, if the hiring struggles are true, apparently, many people don’t. As cool as Star Wars is, it isn’t worth suffering over.
Honestly? I think this is a huge wake-up call. Devs deserve to be treated fairly. I’m glad a company that has had controversy in the past with how it treats staff is struggling to hire.
Hopefully, this will force them to make some changes. It would be nice if this happened to all of these companies. Force them to address their reputation and make changes. Quantic Dreams wants staff for Star Wars Eclipse? Then they better prove they have changed. They better prove that they have adjusted are no longer a toxic place to work.
