In a troubling turn of events, Build a Rocket Boy, the studio behind the much-anticipated game MindsEye, has reportedly initiated mass layoff proceedings that could affect over 100 employees. This news comes on the heels of significant backlash following the game’s troubled launch, which has been marred by technical issues and a dismal reception from players and critics alike. With a Metacritic score of just 38 for the PC version and a mere 28 for the PS5, MindsEye has become one of the lowest-rated games of the year, prompting PlayStation to issue refunds—a rare move that echoes the infamous launch of Cyberpunk 2077.
