Build a Rocket Boy laid off more staff in March 2026, blaming industry struggles and alleged sabotage after a troubled game launch.
Build a Rocket Boy, developer of the 2025 game MindsEye, announced new layoffs on March 4, 2026, citing a "difficult period" in the gaming industry and alleging "organized espionage and corporate sabotage" impacted the game’s launch.
CEO Mark Gerhard said the studio is working with legal advisors on a criminal investigation, claiming overwhelming evidence of a coordinated effort to damage the company, though no details have been released.
The game faced a poor launch with technical issues and canceled marketing, and while updates have improved player sentiment, the studio has parted ways with publisher IO Interactive.
The latest cuts follow earlier layoffs in October 2025, which sparked criticism over crunch and mismanagement.
Despite ongoing challenges, the remaining team continues supporting the game, though future updates remain uncertain.
