Despite being one of 2025's biggest flops, MindsEye is one of the more fascinating failures in recent memory, largely because of the seemingly paranoid allegations of developer Build A Rocket Boy's co-CEOs Mark Gerhard and former Rockstar executive Leslie Benzies. Both before and after MindsEye's release, Benzies and Gerhard have insisted—without substantiation—that its middling reputation and reception were the product of concerted sabotage rather than entertain the notion that their company's game simply wasn't very fun.

That conspiratorial thinking has undergone an exciting new mutation, as Insider Gaming reports that in a leaked recording of a late January internal meeting, Gerhard allegedly informed Build A Rocket Boy (BARB) employees that the company has "caught the guys who've been sabotaging MindsEye." In addition to facing criminal complaints, Gerhard said the names of the alleged "guys" will be used in an upcoming MindsEye mission in an attempt to "own this narrative."
