MindsEye's catastrophic launch to be followed by layoffs at former GTA producer's studio

Build A Rocket Boy, the studio founded by former GTA producer Leslie Benzies, has begun a redundancy process (thanks, IGN). A 45 day consultation process has begun, which under UK law happens when an employer is planning over 100 redundancies within a 90 day period (Build a Rocket Boy is estimated to have 300 employees within the UK).

The news follows the launch of the studio's first game, MindsEye, which can only be described as a bit of a mess. The game is not great and currently sits at just under 2,000 "mostly negative" reviews on Steam (random example: "Do not do it under any circumstances") and a 38 on Metacritic (where the user reviews are even worse).
