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*.
