The studio that promised to put GTA 6 in check seems to be about to begin another round of layoffs
MindsEye promised to be a real game-changer, but it was one of the biggest disasters we’ve seen. Releasing with less content than promised, in a questionable state, under accusations of industrial espionage involving its management that have never been proven and mired in controversy ever since, the game that aimed to compete with GTA 6 ended up becoming infamous. And it seems it hasn’t managed to recover.
A game that hasn’t had a chance
According to several statements from members of the Build a Rocket Boy team on LinkedIn, it seems that at the studio a new round of layoffs may be in the works, some of which may already have happened. Which makes us worry about the studio’s future, which after the release of MindsEye, hasn’t managed to stay afloat.
While it’s difficult to get things back on track after a launch as disastrous as MindsEye’s, it wouldn’t be the first time it has happened. There are examples like Cyberpunk 2077 or No Man’s Sky, though both had solid foundations that just needed more polish, something MindsEye doesn’t seem to have had from the start. That’s why, and sadly, it seems inevitable that the studio will keep spiraling downward unless things change radically.
