    I don’t get why they write an article and then play a Mario kart ad over half my screen. I’m not clicking to close their ads I’m clicking back to leave the site.

    Just wanted to know if the lead designers, project managers, etc. were being fired or if it’s just the people who carry out their visions being axed. I can guess the answer though.

      No info on that, but apparently firing over a 100 people (out of 300 or so people)

      One person, who asked to remain anonymous in order to protect their career, told IGN there’s no word yet on exactly how many staff are affected, but the standard 45-day consultation process starts today, June 23, which according to UK law is triggered when an employer proposes 100 or more redundancies within a 90-day period. IGN understands Build A Rocket Boy currently has around 300 UK employees, with around 200 abroad.
