The investors thought they were getting NASA. Instead they got Romanian space agency.

Look, it's totally fine to like what you like. But when you keep praising and defending a game that's widely considered broken or disappointing while dismissing every criticism, it starts to look a lot like buyer's remorse mixed with stubbornness. You got called out for it and not only by me.

You don't want to admit you made a bad call, so you cling to "I liked it" as a shield even if deep down you know the flaws are real

Dude I DON'T HAVE BUYERS REMORSE. Holy shit lol I would absolutely 10000% admit if I did. I've got no issues admitting to you guys if I regret a purchase

The last game I regret purchasing?

Spoiler

Doom: The Dark Ages. Should've waited for a sale.

I don't think I made a "bad call" at all (I don't even know what you mean by this). I don't remember "calling" anything. I'm not "clinging" to anything. The game is over. I finished it. I went in with zero expectations aside from hoping it wouldn't crash and break (which miraculously it didn't). It's flaws are definitely real and I've never said otherwise. I had plenty of issues. It just didn't take away from the enjoyment. For whatever reason I find janky, poor running games like MindsEye to still be entertaining. There's a certain charm to seeing your guy warp clip into a car instead of seeing the animation of opening the door and climbing in

This whole course of events was immediately apparent the second that first trailer dropped.

That piece of shit... 100 people? What the fuck? How many in total?

From what I saw from videos at DF, this is way too much predictable. Also you can clearly note the devs intentions with character models.
The game is a mess presenting itself as a quality one. If you can not make a game of superior quality, then don't try posing and selling it as one.

Huh? What was wrong with the character models?

Mild shock.

Build A Rocket Boy, the Edinburgh, Scotland-based developer of MindsEye, has issued at-risk emails to its around 300-strong UK workforce following the disastrous launch of the game.

Sources familiar with the goings on inside the embattled studio told IGN at-risk emails were also sent to staff at PlayFusion, which BARB acquired late 2024. PlayFusion, whose CEO Mark Gerhard became co-CEO of BARB as part of the buyout, is working on a different game — a fast-paced FPS called Ascendant which was meant to come out this year.
