MindsEye developer Build a Rocket Boy’s chief legal officer and chief financial officer have announced they’ve left the company a week before the game’s June 10 release.
In a statement on LinkedIn, former CLO Riley Graebner said he was “proud of what [BARB’s] accomplished,” but didn’t expand on why he’d left, or what his next steps will be.
“After three and a half year, my time at BARB has come to a close. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished. During that time we more than doubled the size of the company to over 450 employees. We launched multiple products worldwide. We built the legal team and legal ops infrastructure from the ground up, working to systemize and automate,” he said, before name-checking his “brilliant and hard-working legal team.”
“I’m beyond excited for what’s next – but currently operating in stealth mode for a while longer. Stay tuned,” he added (thanks, Eurogamer).
CFO Paul Bland has also left, and seemingly deleted his LinkedIn page. Our sister site Eurogamer caught a screenshot of Paul Bland’s profile before the deletion, confirming his time at Build a Rocket Boy ended in June 2025.
The high-profile departures come days after co-CEO Mark Gerhard intimated the poor reception received thus far for MindsEye had been part of a “concerted effort” against the studio.
