  1. At this point I'm believing the "saboteurs" story of #LeslieBenzies.

    How? Well, everyone in the studio saw the project was a wreck and the boss was a shitfuck, so they flipped it and moved on.

    If there was a vision and a good work environment, I can bet we would still playing #MindsEye.

  2. #Mindseye already lost the train. #BuildARocketBoy is trying to catch it using #LeslieBenzie's trycicle.

    The rumor about a unfocused, mismanaged, and rushed development is more credible than the saboteur story Leslie wants to sell.

    Selling shit is not Leslie forte. He is a producer, not a marketer, and surely an anti-creative power person that should stay away from anything but spreadsheets.

  3. Ladies and gentlemen, here's the story of the craziest bug I worked on during the late stages of shipping #MindsEye. The final fix went in exactly one week before release, just in time for the day 1 patch.

    I wish I had the opportunity to do a full post mortem of that project, but this will probably never happen. That bug was a gem though. The world needs to know about it before my memory fades away.

  4. Homie is all over the place with his nonsense.

    MindsEye boss addresses “worst launch in history" as he says studio will share "evidence of sabotage" in-game

  5. CEOs will literally blame anyone but themselves for the terrible decisions they make.

    MindsEye developer Build A Rocket Boy's co-CEO blames "organised espionage and corporate sabotage" again, while announcing new wave of layoffs

  6. Leslie "The Weasel" Benzies quits after realising he couldn't pull a good game from his ass by ego alone.

    Sad by the devs who had to put out with the leadership. Hope they're already working somewhere else than that doomed studio.

  11. A month and a half after #MindsEye release, nobody is playing the game.

    I wonder what's next for the studio. I believe it will close before the end of the year. They lost the momentum, the marketing, more than half the people, and the sales are not going to be better.

    They promise "less frequent updates". The writing is on the wall.

  12. «#MindsEye tries to be a game for everyone, just to end up becoming a product for no one».

    Best summary of what corporate shortsightedness leads to. First you make the game fun, then you worry about how to market it.

    MindsEye put the carriage before the horses, and one month after its release, nobody is talking about it except for exposés.

  13. The Disappointment of the Year nominees for 2025 are:

    - Dollhouse: Behind the Broken Mirror
    - #LaQuimera
    - #FBCFirebreak
    - SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada
    - #Mindseye (huge contender)

    What other games should be nominated?

  14. A small part of me wants to believe #MindsEye is going to be better, but all news point to the contrary.

    ign.com/articles/mindseye-deve

    MindsEye vision is an uninspired one. It's not #Cyberpunk2077, but more like #Anthem.

    I can bet #BuildARocketBoy will shut down just as soon their winter DLC is over. "Otherwise, they would be hiring", somebody would say.

  15. Eurogamer taking a jab at bullshit:

    "...there are action games ten, even twenty years older than #MindsEye that are infinitely better to play. Max Payne 3, which is thirteen years old and the weakest Max Payne game, is a masterpiece compared to this."

  16. Just for context, both #NoMansSky and #Cyberpunk2077 add a big influx of preorders.

    In other words, they had a BIG cash injection the moment the game was live, which ensured the studio expenses for months to fix the game.

    That wasn't the case for #MindsEye, and other big flops like #SuicideSquad, #Brink, #SkullAndBones and #Concord. The latter was a colossal disaster.

  17. Gaming got worse the moment the suits started to make decisions.

    Developers made games they wanted to play. Some would even mortgage their houses for what they believed was fun.

    Today, you get the conundrum of investing in projects based on focus groups, financial milestones, and return of investment: #MindsEye, #Concord, #DragonAgeTheVeilguard, #SuicideSquad, you name them.

  18. The more I hear about #MindsEye, the more I get convinced is just a façade for a Fortnite-style game.

    It looks like an MMO with a campaign. Once it releases it could be the best thing after sliced bread or the biggest disaster of the year.

  19. #LukeStephens and #MrMattyPlays know that #Mindseye looks like a game that should be moved into, at least, late 2026.

    My guess is that the studio doesn't want to battle against #GTAVI and they will release in June regardless of its state. May 2026 is a nuclear bomb but financing development another year doesn't seem like something in their books anymore.
