On Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz examines the fallout from Build A Rocket Boy’s MindsEye, launched June 10, 2025, and the subsequent layoffs impacting over 100 employees. With a “Mostly Negative” Steam rating and Sony issuing refunds due to bugs and poor performance, the studio, founded by ex-Rockstar president Leslie Benzies, faces uncertainty. Analytic Dreamz explores the 45-day UK redundancy consultation, C-suite exits, and the shaky future of the Everywhere platform and MindsEye 2, contextualizing this within 2025’s broader gaming industry layoffs.
