Two Top Executives Depart Build a Rocket Boy Before MindsEye Launch

Alright, so let’s dive into this little narrative. It’s about Build a Rocket Boy — cool name, right? They’re the folks behind MindsEye. It seems like their ship’s hit some rocks because, well, a couple of bigwigs decided to jump overboard. Like, just as they’re about to launch their shiny new game. Timing, huh?

So I stumbled across this tidbit on Eurogamer. (I wasn’t even looking for it, but there it was.) Riley Graebner, the big shot legal brain, threw a message up on LinkedIn, saying he’s done with the company. He sounded kinda proud, though. Like, “Woohoo! We did some cool stuff here!” I can almost hear him saying it. Apparently, they ramped up from a handful of dreamers to 450-ish people. That’s a lot of lunch breaks to manage. And something about building a legal ops empire from nothing — which, honestly, sounds exhausting.

Riley’s off to mysterious ventures now. Keeping it low-key, he says. I picture him in a hidden bunker somewhere, plotting world domination. Or maybe he’s just on a beach. Hard to say.

And then there’s Paul Bland. Finance guru type. He also waved goodbye after a two-year stint. What gives with these sudden exits, eh? You can’t help but wonder. Or maybe it’s just me overthinking stuff, which happens a lot.

Now, let’s talk awkward. You’ve got this drama unfolding just as MindsEye is about to hit the market. I mean, who needs smooth sailing, right? Makes you scratch your head a bit — more than a bit, actually. And just to add fuel to the fire, there’s this wild claim from co-CEO Mark Gerhard about someone supposedly buying bad press for the game. Sounds like a plot twist from, well, a game.

So yeah, that’s the dish on Build a Rocket Boy. Expect more twists, I guess. But for now, we sit with our popcorn, waiting to see what this MindsEye thing is all about.
