Can MindsEye Be Saved From Its DISASTROUS LAUNCH?
129MindsEye’s disastrous launch highlights a recurring problem in modern gaming: high-profile launches that are not ready to be released to the public. While CD Projekt Red and Hello Games were able to bring Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man’s Sky up to scratch after disastrous launches, Build a Rocket Boy’s attempts at damage control already indicate a problematic strategy.
MindsEye’s myriad issues can make its attempt at redemption an unrewarding struggle for its developers even as Build a Rocket Boy reels from attrition and a lack of accountability for the studio’s failure to meet the expectations of its players. MindsEye is likely to be lost to the annals of gaming history, and serve as an example of a great concept that missed the mark on its execution.
