MindsEye co-CEO claims there's a 'concerted effort' to trash the game ahead of its release: 'I do KNOW that there are bot farms posting negative comments and dislikes'

MindsEye third person shooter action game.

With less than two weeks remaining until the June 10 launch of MindsEye, the upcoming action game from former Grand Theft Auto producer Leslie Benzies' Build a Rocket Boy, studio co-CEO Mark Gerhard has stirred up controversy by claiming there's "a concerted effort to trash the game and the studio" being financed by... well, someone.

Gerhard's commentary began on May 27 with a response to a user on the MindsEye Discord (via VG247) who asked if the people who "reacted negatively" to what's been seen of the game so far "were financed by someone."
