- Build A Rocket Boy studio head says MindsEye failed due to corporate sabotage.
- They have identified those involved in it, and the authorities have been involved.
- There will be arrests and consequences as the studio prepares to relaunch the game.
MindsEye was one of the biggest colossal failures in the gaming industry in recent years. It became the lowest-rated game of the year on Metacritic in 2025, and the studio head stated that it failed because people tried to sabotage it.
In a recent interview, MindsEye studio CEO warned that they are investigating the people who tried to sabotage the game, and they will be arrested. They are in talks with the authorities in the US and the UK, and there will be consequences.
Why it matters: The game initially promised a lot of potential as it was developed by ex-Rockstar developers, but as reviews came in and the game was eventually released, it was clear that it’s not what most thought it would be.
In an interview with GamesBeat, Build A Rocket Boy CEO Mark Gerhard went candid about MindsEye’s failure. He stated that the company has found evidence of corporate sabotage, and the authorities are now involved.
We’ve got very strong evidence of this (corporate sabotage) and conducted quite thorough investigations over the months since launch. We’ll leave it with the authorities to do what they do, make their arrests or any announcements in due course
He was asked if there were reports that MindsEye became one of the most refunded games of all time, to which Gerhard remarked that it is a false narrative. It was just a negative or malicious narrative that was amplified.
Anyhow, he says the studio is now working hard to relaunch the game. After the end of the partnership with IO Interactive, the CEO says they are in good spirits, and the update is already getting really good reviews.
