Tensions are running high at Build a Rocket Boy, the development studio behind the embattled MindsEye game, as workers prepare to protest a fan event scheduled for this weekend. The protest, set to take place outside the studio's Edinburgh offices, comes on the heels of multiple rounds of layoffs that have left many in the gaming community questioning the studio's priorities.

The fan event, which promises to bring together enthusiasts of the game, has been met with outrage from workers who feel that the studio is prioritizing publicity over the well-being of its employees. With many workers having already lost their jobs, the decision to host a fan event has been seen as a callous move by the studio.
