Death of a Game is a series dedicated to uncovering the mysteries surrounding the death of a game or company. nerdSlayer defines the term "death" in the context of the show as either... 1. Literally dead. 2. Had a mass exodus of players and never recovered (expectations etc). 3. The company ceased to exist. We follow a timeline of events, to uncover clues concerning why a game or company doesn't do well, and attempt to put it all together at the end for a deduction explaining how or why the game failed based on the evidence gathered. Rules: 1: No discrimination or hate speech. 2: No affiliation links that do not belong to nerdSlayer. 3: No political/religious talk or debate . 4: Any points you make have to be substantiated either in explaining your opinion or when stating facts you need to back these up with reliable sources. 5: Do not argue moderation decisions in public, if you have an issue PM the mods. 6: We don't allow self promotion, giveaways or anything of similar nature from community members on this discord without nerdSlayer's permission. 7: Wherever possible if you initiate a discussion try to do so in an appropriate channel for it. For example game news could go in ⁠game-table a story on the latest EVE heist however would belong in ⁠mmo-booth or the latest GPU shortage can go in ⁠tech-wizards 8: Spoilers have to be marked at all times as a spoiler by using /spoiler or || before and after the message. Beside this outside of the spoiler you should make clear ahead of it what the spoiler is about, like the latest chapter in a video game or something. 9: Please do not @ mention any of the staff or in general abuse @ mentions. People will respond on their own accord when needed and when they desire to do so. (Exception for moderators if their presence is needed for enforcement) Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MindsEye https://www.videogamer.com/news/mindseye-main-actor-alex-hernandez-reveals-shared-frustration-games-broken-launch/ https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/mindseyes-lead-actor-talks-being-the-face-of-a-game-that-flops-hard https://www.ign.com/articles/mindseye-actor-says-awful-launch-left-him-wondering-if-hed-ever-work-in-games-again-do-i-have-the-opposite-of-the-golden-touch-the-s-brown-touch https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gzn34gwvwo https://www.theguardian.com/games/2025/jun/13/mindseye-review-a-dystopian-future-that-plays-like-its-from-2012 https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/io-interactive-ceo-says-mindseye-disaster-means-it-remains-to-be-seen-whether-itll-publish-other-studios-games-again/ https://tribune.com.pk/story/2552646/mindseye-developer-announce-layoffs-after-game-was-critically-panned https://www.thenational.scot/news/17340479.ex-grand-theft-auto-producer-taken-court-take-two/ https://www.polygon.com/2016/4/14/11428072/the-great-grand-theft-auto-lawsuit-explained/ https://www.thegamer.com/mindseye-developer-build-a-rocket-boy-learning-and-growing-after-devs-complain-about-crunch/ https://www.digitalfoundry.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2025-mindseye-has-abject-technical-performance-even-after-its-latest-patch https://web.archive.org/web/20190106042405/https://www.scotsman.com/news/grand-theft-auto-pioneer-accused-of-poaching-staff-in-court-battle-1-4852324 https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/9of77s/we_were_working_100hour_weeks_red_dead_redemption/ https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-51381774 https://80.lv/articles/mindseye-studio-directors-leave-team-just-one-week-ahead-of-game-s-launch https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/SC537252/filing-history https://www.resetera.com/threads/minds-eye-announced-coming-summer-2025.1107564/ https://www.metacritic.com/game/mindseye/critic-reviews/?platform=pc https://www.gameworkers.co.uk/barb-open-letter/ https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1le3u8p/build_a_rocket_boy_mindseye_developers_are/ https://www.eurogamer.net/mindseye-developers-sign-damning-open-letter-against-studio-execs-over-longstanding-disrespect-and-mistreatment-following-games-disastrous-launch
