MindsEye is a GTA/Cyberpunk-ish game about shooting AI robots, and its co-ceo claims there's "concerted effort" involving evil bots to make people think it's rubbish

Yesterday, I made a studio rocket boy led by President Rockstar North Leslie Benzies – GTA-ish, cyberpunk-ish, showcasing gameplay from the action thriller MindseyeIt is set to allow you to photograph a bunch of evil AI robots. Now, Barb’s co-CEO claims there is a coordinated effort to destroy games and studios, including evil bots.

Yes, he appears to suggest that these are true through some responses to players on the game’s Discord server, as expected by the executives to do casually.

The CO-CEO in question, Mark Gerhard, was asked while he was sailing back and forth about gaming with fans using the server’s handle MMG. He replied: “100%.”

Naturally, people were a bit surprised by the studio executives. At first glance it appears to suggest that the game’s negative reception was paid in some way, but Gerhard went on to add, “It’s not much needed to guess who.” A user on the server commented immediately. “The studio’s co-CEO implies that another studio is paying the previewer to talk negatively about your game.

Fans and content creators of the servers who expressed criticism of Mindseye and built Rocket Boy began questioning whether Gerhard was talking about them, leading the CO-CEO to respond to questions that could be asked about users using the handle’s cyberBOI.

“Cyber ​​Boy has never said that no one has paid,” Gerhard wrote.

GTA YouTuber Gameroll asked him directly. “So to be clear – do you believe that individuals are the creators of the content, or anyone else has been paid back to criticize Mindseye?” “No, I never said that,” replied Gerhardt, “I know that Bot Farm posts negative comments and things that I dislike.”

VG247 reached out to build Rocket Boy and Mindseye publisher IO interactive for comments.
