We now know the exact numbers on Mindseye and Build a Rocket Boy and it's much worse than Concord, for example:

1. Over the years, the company has spent nearly £300 million (approximately $400 million) of investor funds while appointing representatives from major investors to its board of directors. They called back reps in 2025 and over £80 million are now the official debt.

2. Total revenue from the *Mindseye* project was less than £4 million, yet documents explicitly list a figure of only around £3 million. In other words, the game recouped just 1% of its budget.

3. In the most recent year, payments to the small board of directors still totaled £1.9 million; of this amount, approximately £800,000 went to an unnamed board member (most likely Leslie Benzies). This occurred after the game itself had clearly failed.

4. Documents indicate that the company "planned and was required to launch a successful new product in 2026 to remain profitable." The only releases were expansions for *Mindseye*.

Just a small hint on why (with one exact data center requires as much power as homes in Houston, Dallas, and Austin COMBINED).

Fun fact — there's UTM analytics spam if you're running an Indie Game on Steam:

They promote their services via UTM markings = they are shown as very clear promotional messages with the website to visit, slogans and CTAs.

So they have a bot that visits all the upcoming indie games and leaves a noticeable (dozens or hundreds of hits) marking with their promotional message visible in SteamWorks page in the UTM analytics tab.

Aion 2 got a very nice beta night

✅ If you are from Europe, please, support this and share with the friends of yours: in current form the Digital ID is the biggest threat to freedom!

And it will destroy the Game Industry and most likely make Online Games either extremely expensive to run or barely possible even with the budget.
