In a surprising turn of events, Build a Rocket Boy, the studio behind the much-anticipated game MindsEye, has reportedly initiated a mass layoff process that could affect over 100 employees. This news comes as the Edinburgh-based developer begins a 45-day consultation period, a requirement under UK law when planning to lay off a significant number of staff. With approximately 300 employees in the UK and an additional 200 overseas, the implications of these layoffs are substantial for both the studio and its community.
