In July this year workers at Build a Rocket Boy, a video game studio in Edinburgh, were called to an all-staff meeting.
Their first ever game, a sci-fi adventure called MindsEye, had been released three weeks earlier - and it had been a total disaster.
Critics and players called it “broken”, “buggy”, and “the worst game of 2025”.
Addressing staff via video link, the company’s boss, Leslie Benzies, assured them there was a plan to get things back on track and said the negativity they’d seen was “uncalled for”.
Then he pivoted, alleging “internal and external” forces had been working to scupper the MindsEye launch.
He told the assembled workers - who’d been informed they faced redundancy just a week earlier - there would be an effort to root out “saboteurs” within the company.
“I find it disgusting that anyone could sit amongst us, behave like this and continue to work here,” he said, according to a transcript of the meeting verified by BBC Newsbeat.
Staff who worked at the studio say they were stunned - and not only by the strength of the language. They simply didn’t believe him.
As far as they were concerned, there was no conspiracy - and the reasons for MindsEye’s failure were clear.
What a paranoid dipshit.

I think onscreen chemistry peaked in Casino Royale. Now it all feels clinical/sterile.

Reist reviewed the controversial Netflix film Cuties (2020) for both her ABC Religion & Ethics column[20] and for the Christian newspaper Eternity.[21] She described the film as “a social critique on what happens when we allow misogynistic, violent, exhibitionist internet culture to ravage girls – training them to wield their immature bodies as currency.”[21] Reist related the film to the activism of Collective Shout: “In the past 10 years at Collective Shout, we have met many girls this age, who have felt the same pressures. Some have taken inappropriate pics and shared them, sexualising themselves either out of a sense of obligation, or because they have believed the lie that self-objectification is empowering or liberating.”[21] However, regarding certain scenes in the film, she wrote that “the complexity here is that in trying to make a serious ethical point about girls and sexuality, the girls may have been used unwittingly — but still inappropriately — to a noble end. The scene could have been filmed differently[.]”[20]
It is hilarious.
Epic tried getting users by giving them free games. But that didn’t translate to increased sales. And now they are trying to woo developers to abandon Steam, hoping that way customers will be forced to buy from Epic.
They don’t understand that developers are on Steam because customers are there. And what does a customer get when they use Epic over Steam?
