The recent launch of MindsEye has thrown IO Interactive’s future in game publishing into uncertainty. Following a disastrous release marred by technical issues and a dismal Metacritic score, the company’s CEO, Hakan Abrak, expressed hesitance about continuing to publish games from other studios under the IOI Partners label. This situation raises significant questions about the viability of IOI’s expansion into publishing games beyond their own titles. Originally, IOI had ambitious plans to support other developers, believing in the potential of MindsEye and its creators.
