Key Leadership Changes at Build a Rocket Boy Before MindsEye Launch

Woah, so here’s the thing. Build a Rocket Boy, the minds behind this new game MindsEye, just took a hit—like, right before their first game launch. Two senior folks peaced out. Crazy timing, if you ask me. I saw this tidbit on Eurogamer (shoutout to them for doing the digging), and it turns out Riley Graebner, who was their big shot legal guy, said his goodbyes on LinkedIn. He seemed all proud and stuff about how the company doubled its workforce and got a bunch of projects out the door. Honestly, good for him, right? But still, a big loss.

He’s off doing something mysterious now. You know when people say they’re in “stealth mode”? Makes me think of superheroes or maybe spies. Anyway—oh, and Paul Bland, the finance wizard, is gone too. He was there for two years—a bunch of numbers and spreadsheets later, he’s out.

Now, is this a sinking ship scenario or just bad luck? Who knows. But right before launching MindsEye? Sketchy. And here’s a spicy twist—apparently, there’s a rumor floating around that someone’s dissing the project for cash, according to co-CEO Mark Gerhard. No proof, though. Just smoke, no fire. Makes you wonder, though, what’s bubbling under the surface?

It’s like a plot twist in a thriller, and I can’t decide if I’m intrigued or just confused.
