Are you fucking kidding me.
Literally every major game in the past year that's had extensive crunch time and treated its workers poorly has those disputes listed under Troubled Production. It has to do with genlock specifically because of the claim that as much of a third of the season was effectively made for free due to the unpaid overtime, and the contract laborers being promised full positions that never appeared. Those aren't deleted for "importing drama," which is such a fucking sociopathic way to look at worker crunch.
The reviews have been verified as true by Georden Whitman, the guy who made Nomad of Nowhere, and that Matt Hullum responded should be seen as an indication that there is a kernal of truth there.
Also really swell of you to wait for the scandal to die down before applying the Stalin treatment to this.
Piss off with this bootlicking, you just come off as a paid shill trying to hide your company being shady. You're also not a mod, so next time you wanna try and do stuff like this? Leave the entry up until you get the sayso.

This whole attempt to stifle word about the controversy just comes off as vapid bootlicking for a company you like. You just come off as a paid shill trying to hide your company being shady. You're also not a mod, so next time you wanna try and do stuff like this? Leave the entry up until you get the sayso from someone with actual power.

Discussion pages are supposed to be places for tropers to come together to discuss entries that we might have questions about. A request for discussion is all that's going on here.
Given your level of anger, I'm not sure how best to respond. I've therefore asked on ATT if a neutral third party can take a look at the entry and provide some advice.
Edited by Wyldchyld If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.
It's OK if you disagree with them, but comparing another troper to a paid shill and Stalin is way over the line.
Keet cleanup
Karxrida re-added the entry without prior discussion:
- Troubled Production: The show was produced right after Rooster Teeth finished RWBY Volume 6, which led to intense crunch time for the animators. Glassdoor reviews of Rooster Teeth
also detail terrible working conditions and the animation staff being subjected to unpaid overtime.
Since discussion has not progressed since July, I can only guess that Karxrida is just as biased as RWBYConversations, since they're using the exact Tumblr link.

Hey sorry about that.
I was editing the RWBY Trivia page earlier (I read some new stuff about the Vic M. debacle and that rabbit holed me there) to rewrite some examples to cut down on text. That somehow led me here and I effectively c/p'd the example text (and thus the link) from that page. Didn't realize there was a discussion about the example.
Didn't mean to cause any trouble.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
I put this on the ATT a while back because I didn't know if the crunch issue was covered by the trope (it comes across more as 'Troubling Employer Decisions' than 'Troubled Production'.
However, the matter wasn't resolved. I'm still wondering if the trope description needs to be cleaned up to clarify scope.

I've brought the below entry to here to question two things about whether this entry should stay:
- Troubled Production: Season 1 was not pleasant to work on according to multiple anonymous accounts on Glassdoor that came out after production on the season wrapped.
The animation crews were never paid overtime, resulting in as much of a third of the season effectively being made for free due to no one getting paid for overtime hours, and multiple contract laborers were promised full positions after production wrapped only for them to be shown the door.
