Sadly, we do have evidence that there has been a coordinated campaign to purposefully and maliciously damage Build A Rocket Boy’s reputation and undermine confidence in MindsEye," a spokesperson for the studio told GamesIndustry. "We are working with our legal team and taking steps to address this."
Maybe your game just sucks?
It’s so sad when people can’t admit they’ve failed.
Perhaps I'm too cynical these days but what chance did they have with a name like Build A Rocket Boy?
Every time I see it I think is it "Build A Rocket, Boy" a la GoW or "Build A Rocket Boy" a la Astroboy... like WTF does it mean?!?!
I first read it as “Build a Bear” and thought it was some kind of roll-your-own scheme
I've noticed they're sponsoring YouTubers to make shorts about "how they're improving the game" and the influencers are even allowed to talk about how bad the launch was.
What happened to shame, man.
