MindsEye seems to be the biggest flop of 2025 on PC. Therefore MindsEye developer, Make a Rocket Boy, decided to pull the plug on sponsored streams. It truly is disheartening to see a game fail this bad, specially something that seems to be coming from a small studio. People wonder what it could have been if this game actually worked properly, as it truly looks stunning for something coming from the hands of an apparently small studio. As always, MindsEye is yet another proof that people need to code their own tools. We at Infinite Start will cover what happened.
MindsEye developer removes streams
Sometimes to damage control, you have to do what you can to remove any evidence of a game having failed, however it is too late now. Everyone knows that MindsEye has unfortunately fallen and released dead on arrival, only fixing the game up is the way to go. Cyberpunk 2077 was extremely broken too on release, and this was made by a bigger studio. Another story of an indie comeback was the one from No Man’s Sky, which managed to fully revive.
We need to give a chance to the developer behind MindsEye, as its clear that the work they did took quite a while to pull. Still, it is understandable why many would be angry or feel tricked, people paid money for a broken game. The only thing to do right now if fix every single issue and do it for free.
It is clear that what happened is that this game was developed and compiled with an specific kind of hardware in mind, and as always, Unreal Engine 5 just decided to take that as a base of the computer people should buy. Blunders like this don’t happen when you code your own engine by yourself, as you can properly optimize how things work.
