MindsEye developers protest against a fan event their own studio is hosting
Build a Rocket Boy is organising an in-person playtest gathering at its Edinburgh studio, covering flights and two nights' accommodation for selected community members, along with structured meet-and-greet sessions with staff. The initiative stands out as noteworthy given MindsEye's small and largely inactive player base.
Staff members at the studio have expressed concern about the decision to fund the event, particularly in light of multiple workforce reductions culminating in May layoffs that left the company substantially downsized. The timing has prompted criticism from some developers regarding how the company is allocating resources.
- Build a Rocket Boy is funding an on-site fan event for MindsEye, covering travel and lodging for invited community members
- Developer staff at the studio view the spending decision unfavourably, given recent layoffs that significantly reduced headcount
