MindsEye's lead actor believes the game's failure may end his gaming career

We won't rub salt in the wound by reminding you the resounding failure. that MindsEye ended up being. Aside from the uncertain future of the Build A Rocket Boy studio, this disastrous launch could also have repercussions for the game's cast.

During an episode of the FRVR Podcast, Alex Hernandez, who plays the hero Jacob Diaz in MindsEye, discussed his future in the video game industry. As a reminder, Hernandez is also known for lending his voice to Lincoln Clay, the protagonist of Mafia 3, which is often considered the worst in the franchise.

During the interview, the actor was hard on himself, wondering whether everything he touches in gaming turns to gold, or rather "shit". He may never appear in a game again.

"I thought to myself, ‘I may never work on a video game again.’ One of the downsides of being the face on the box is that people, rightly or wrongly, will associate all their opinions and, more importantly, their emotions about that game with my face."
