MindsEye Failure Threatens Publisher IOI Partners' Future

MindsEye, developed with the participation of a former GTA producer, turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments of recent years. At the start, the project, which was presented as a promising "dark stallion", did not live up to expectations and ultimately became a serious blow to the publishing division of IO Interactive called IOI Partners.

The head of the company Hakan Abrak admitted that the reaction of players and critics was far from expected. According to him, neither the studio nor the publisher expected such a negative reception, but the team intends to rectify the situation and regain the audience's trust. Despite the existing content with potential, the future of IOI Partners is now in question: the company will focus on its own projects, and plans to publish third-party games remain uncertain.

Meanwhile, the ideological inspirer of MindsEye Leslie Benzies does not admit guilt for the failure and claims that the result was the actions of some "saboteurs", but he does not name specific names.
