It’s wild how bot farm accusations are becoming the new my dog ate my homework for game studios. Either way, a GTA-Cyberpunk lovechild could be a blast if the execution lives up to the ambition. The drama’s spicy, but I’m more curious if MindsEye’s gameplay can carve its own identity instead of just riding the coattails of its inspirations. Fingers crossed for June 2025

Blaming bots for bad buzz feels like a weird deflection—either the game’s got issues or the PR team’s in panic mode. Still, a GTA-meets-Cyberpunk mashup sounds fun if they can back up the hype. Leslie Benzies’ involvement has me cautiously optimistic, but the bot farm drama is giving ‘damage control’ vibes. Here’s hoping the gameplay speaks louder than the Discord drama.
