The launch of MindsEye is getting messy. Co-CEOs Mark Gerhard and Leslie Benzies say the game’s rough reception is due to sabotage by a big American company, now linked to the UK’s Ritual Network. They allege influencer payments and misinformation were part of the attack. Interestingly, they plan to turn this drama into a game mission!
While the studio is pursuing legal action, former employees claim the real issues are mismanagement and burnout. The whole situation shows just how chaotic things are at Build A Rocket Boy, especially after layoffs followed the game's disappointing debut. What do you think about turning this controversy into game content?
