Build A Rocket Boy announces layoffs... and complains again about the sabotage of MindsEye's launch

This isn't the first time Build A Rocket Boy has laid off staff. Following the disastrous release of MindsEye, the studio had to restructure and reducing its workforce.

This week, it announced new departures on LinkedIn. In a statement, Build A Rocket Boy once again blamed the sabotage that MindsEye allegedly suffered at launch. In the past, the company said it wanted to take legal action to combat the alleged smear campaign against the title.

In its message published on Wednesday, Build A Rocket Boy even refers to "espionage" and "corporate sabotage." These acts allegedly prolonged the difficult launch period for MindsEye and forced the studio to lay off staff.
