"Around 170 staff have reportedly been laid off Build a Rocket Boy, the developer behind the unendingly troubled MindsEye. The exact number of people affected is unclear, but the latest round of staff cuts brings the studio's headcount down to approximately 80."
"BARB has gone through several rounds of layoffs in the last year following its debut game MindsEye's disastrous launch, with the previous wave of cuts announced in early March."
"BARB has consistently argued that, while MindsEye's buggy state at launch naturally contributed to all the bad press, the game and studio as a whole was also the victim of both internal and external 'sabotage.'"
Build a Rocket Boy has reportedly laid off around 170 staff, leaving approximately 80 employees at the Scotland-based studio. The layoffs follow a troubled launch of their game MindsEye, which has faced significant criticism. Previous layoffs occurred earlier in the year, and the studio has also ended its partnership with IO Interactive. BARB claims that both internal and external sabotage contributed to the game's issues, and they plan to address this in upcoming downloadable content for MindsEye.
