Leslie Benzies has temporarily stepped away from Build A Rocket Boy
, by Thibaut
The last few months have been turbulent for Build A Rocket Boy, to say the least. The studio has had to deal with the disastrous release of MindsEye by offering numerous updates. Company executives have also stated that the project was the victim of deliberate sabotage.
Now, we have learned via an internal email that Leslie Benzies, the current CEO of Build A Rocket Boy, has taken a "a well-earned temporary leave to recharge after more than a year of working around the clock." While Benzies appears to be retaining his position, the wording of the message seems to suggest that his absence will be a long one.
Mark Gerhard, who is also CEO and Chief Technology Officer, wrote this sentence to employees.
"He has our deepest gratitude, and with the leadership team and your support, I will guide us forward."
It remains to be seen whether Benzies' temporary departure will lead to a return or outright resignation.
