MindsEye staff protest company-funded fan event amid wave of layoffs

Edinburgh-based MindsEye workers at Build a Rocket Boy plan to picket outside the studio for a weekend fan event funded by the company, arguing the decision comes after multiple rounds of layoffs and amid union concerns over governance and privacy. The IWGB and additional unions are set to join the protest, which follows a history of layoffs and controversy around workplace practices; the studio later issued a statement saying the playtest is for players and MindsEye’s future, signaling ongoing dialogue with the community.
