MindsEye, a game that feels a smidge underwhelming—given it was from one of the brains behind Grand Theft Auto—is out, and public reception is not doing so hot. With "mostly negative" Steam reviews and some poor first impressions by PCG's own Tyler Wilde, who didn't find much to be charmed with, MindsEye is not doing much to capture anyone's imagination.
But if you listened to Build a Rocket Boy co-CEO Mark Gerhard back in May? It was all a conspiracy by a fleet of paid-for bots, or something. You can read the full statements in the story I just linked, but Gerhard claimed there was "a concerted effort to trash the game and the studio", and implied he believed "100%" that the incoming negative reception was financed by someone with some disposable income and a fleet of "bot farms".
