Scottish developer Build A Rocket Boy is facing fresh controversy after staff discovered company-installed monitoring tools on workplace computers that employees say were put in place without advance notice. The move comes as studio leaders continue to insist that outside interference harmed the launch prospects of their GTA-style title MindsEye.

  • Reports indicate monitoring software was deployed to employee machines without clear prior consent or formal communication.
  • Studio executives have repeatedly alleged deliberate third-party sabotage affected the game’s performance and reputation.
  • Employees and observers have raised privacy and workplace-ethics concerns over covert surveillance measures.
  • The situation adds to fallout from MindsEye’s widely criticised release, intensifying scrutiny of the studio’s management and public statements.
