* CreatorBacklash:CreatorBacklash: Multiple Rooster Teeth staff members who worked on Season 1 were unenthused with the direction taken for Season 2.



** Well after the release of Season 2, Rooster Teeth staff member Austin Hardwicke quipped on Twitter that [[FanonDiscontinuity it's too bad there was never a second season]], which earned a like from cast member Miles Luna.

Luna himself also dismissively spoke of Season 2 while it was airing in a since-deleted livestream.



* TroubledProduction: Making ''gen:LOCK'' was [[https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/gtqnb5/anime_how_one_directors_drive_to_make_his_passion/ not a pleasant experience for the crew.]] The [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/14zzqTtVfAILBEHwYGFhYMMkE8ZmRc9qnkhY2PCsfiiA/edit commentrary track]] has several frank discussions between the higher-ups in the animation team about how rough the production cycle could be for the show, and [[https://www.cartoonbrew.com/artist-rights/rooster-teeth-ceo-apologizes-for-poor-work-conditions-at-dallas-animation-studio-175948.html several ex-employees and staffers]] came out about the production of the series through Glassdoor complaining about excessive crunch time (specially as Gray Haddock [[ChristmasRushed wanted the show to open right after]] ''Webanimation/{{RWBY}}'' closed Volume 6 - and worse, a few worked on both shows...). Most of the animation staff had to work eighty-hour weeks with unpaid overtime, resulting in a third of the season being effectively made for free. Multiple workers were also brought in on unpaid 90 day temp contracts with the promise of a full-paying job upon completion, but were all unceremoniously let go instead. [[https://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/screens/2019-06-17/division-head-steps-down-at-rooster-teeth-animation/ Gray stepped down as Head of Animation soon after the news broke, and later admitted to having left Rooster Teeth entirely.]]

* CreatorBacklash: Season 1 animator Torrian Crawford [[https://twitter.com/AnimatedTorrii/status/1461771262502576128 made sure to voice his dissatisfaction]] at the direction of Season 2. He found the third episode's sex scene in particular to be gratuitous and distasteful.
