Exec on former GTA 5 lead's new open-world game MindsEye says negative reactions have come from a "financed" and "concerted effort to trash the game and the studio"

MindsEye.

You would think that a new game from one of the main people behind the 3D GTA games releasing in two weeks would be a much bigger deal, but MindsEye – the first game from Build A Rocket Boy, the studio founded by Leslie Benzies – hasn't been picking up much steam as of late.

Last week, Rockstar content creator SynthPotato reported on MindsEye previews from content creators and gave a rundown of all of the negative reactions to it so far, including a lack of depth in the combat, stiff driving, and being called "a broken mess, filled with bugs". Since then, Build a Rocket Boy's co-CEO has stated that they believe there is something more behind the negative response.
