MindsEye developers protest fan event being held at their own studio

Developers at MindsEye, the action game from Build a Rocket Boy, are organizing a protest against a fan event scheduled for this Saturday at the studio's Edinburgh headquarters in Scotland, according to Eurogamer. The studio is covering flights and two nights of accommodation for an unspecified number of community members to participate in an on-site playtest of future MindsEye content. Employee discontent stems from multiple recent rounds of layoffs at the company. The protest underscores internal turmoil at Build a Rocket Boy as the studio attempts to maintain engagement with its player base. The company acknowledged the issue through a statement released after the original reporting, confirming the event's planning.
