MindsEye lead actor responds to horrendous release and glitches

MindsEye has become the latest in broken video game releases, which has resulted in the studio behind the title, Build A Rocket Boy, beginning the layoff process of employees. Now, the lead actor of the recently released game has responded to the broken release.

Build A Rocket Boy, a studio with roughly 300 employees and helmed by former GTA producer Leslie Benzies, has started laying off employees two weeks after the disastrous launch of MindsEye. The layoffs are expected to impact more than 100 employees.

Now, Alex Hernandez, who voices Jacob Diaz in MindsEye, has sat down for an interview with Check It TV to discuss the release of the game, his relationship with Build A Rocket Boy, and the fallout of MindsEye's release in such a dismal state.

Hernandez agreed with player complaints about the quality of the game once it was made public, stating he agreed with gamers being upset at developers releasing unfinished titles. As for MindsEye, Hernandez believes that releasing a game with glitches and bugs does more harm than good, as it harms the reputation of the studio behind the game.

"I'm not a businessperson, I've no idea why this decision gets made. I will just say that from a consumer perspective, and I'm sure a lot of people feel this way, I think it does more long-term harm than good to your reputation to release something that feels like it is in a state of less than 100% and then charge 100% of the price," explained Hernandez

"You have to be honest with your consumer. In fact, I, as a player, would rather be told, 'This is in beta. I know you've been waiting for this for a long time, but this is a beta release.' So, whether you get to play it for free on some sort of invite list or for $20, $30, $15, insert price, I don't know what the model would be, but it's a much smaller fee. 'So please come interact with our thing, give us feedback, but know it's not done,'" added Hernandez
