Alex Hernandez, the lead actor in the recently released game MindsEye, has publicly criticized the industry's widespread practice of releasing unfinished projects. In an interview with Check It TV, the actor expressed dissatisfaction with the situation when companies release raw products, promising to fix them during post-release support.
Hernandez drew parallels with the infamous launch of Cyberpunk 2077, emphasizing that such an approach is damaging both players and the reputation of developers. "As a consumer, I do not accept a situation where a product is offered at full price that is far from finished," the actor said. "It's essentially beta testing, just under a different name."
Hernandez's criticism came amid reports of upcoming layoffs at Build a Rocker Boy. According to insiders, the company, which employed more than 500 people on the failed MindsEye, is preparing for large-scale layoffs. The game, poorly optimized even for consoles, received negative reviews from both players and critics, making the actor's words especially relevant in the context of the current situation.
