Overview

• The IWGB Game Workers Branch says it is filing legal claims alleging failures to consult ahead of layoffs and multiple cases of unfair dismissal at the Scotland-based studio.
• The open letter, signed by 93 current and former workers, singles out co-CEOs Leslie Benzies and Mark Gerhard for what signatories call systemic mismanagement.
• Signatories allege a mandatory eight extra hours of work per week for every employee in the four months before MindsEye’s launch, with time off in lieu often left unusable.
• The letter describes a chaotic redundancy process, citing misinformation, incorrect notice periods, and misassigned teams that could have led to wrongful dismissals.
• Workers and the union estimate 250–300 jobs were cut after MindsEye’s widely panned release, and they demand an apology, compensation, recognition of the IWGB, and use of external partners for any future redundancies.
