All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side
I think the fact that there was absolutely no No Mans Sky at the PS4 Pro reveal but a bunch of ports and rereleases was a sign Sony is pretending this debacle never existed. Like a bad gamble to turn an indie game into a hardware pusher during a dry season before the big holiday groundswell and it blew up thanks to horrible PR and i think at this point Hello Games reputation is largely soiled and Murray is being seen as "Peter Molyneux with all the bunkum and none of the creativity" and Sony is making a mad dash to distance themselves from those "actual gameplay" videos from 2 years ago of a game that doesnt really exist. Shame we will never get a tell all documentary on this whole thing, i imagine it would be fascinating to se Todds Dark Apprentice go through this process till shit hit the fan.
I'm all for being objective, but the evidence is stacked against them here. There are plenty of 'old' files to be found by the dataminers. Assets that didn't make it into the game and even some data related to the planets they showed on E3 (that weren't 'entirely randomly encountered just that day', another thing that Murray said).
Of course it doesn't mean that you're not right, you could still be, but I find it highly highly unlikely.
Ok I have seen some white knighting for a game but really. What in the flying fuck are you smoking because I want some. Do you not know what the word Refund means and no players didn't promise shit.
More and more your side is losing ground in this argument, even to the point where Sony has stated they fucked up.
Edit: As a matter of fact your side has no ground in this argument. You are just wrong and even Sony has admitted they fucked up.

Couldn't agree more and I think the statement I posted proof of that as well.
The difference between Peter Molyneux and Sean Murray is that Peter delivered a decent game (Series).

All evidence is circumstantial. Implications based on assumptions. You can stack it as high as you want it's still a nil. Be objective. Presence of old files means nothing. Absence of old files means nothing. Datamining means nothing in this regard - it only shows the current state of game resources.

You lied to HG. That simple. Has nothing to do with white knighting. Just a simple fact. They presented a game and you all were like "i'm throwing money at the screen but nothing happens", and then you refunded. I hope they sue y'all.

Having seen Spore & NMS mentioned in the same breathe several times, I found this quite amusing (& also surprising)...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfV1DrxIdtQ
(some strong language)
"9th Sept more people playing Spore than NMS on steam."

Have to change the date yourself, top right.
The amount playing both is very similar over time too recently.

Sony was pushing NMS as a PS4 major title. Don't let the PR speak fool you just because it contains hate for NMS and HG. Sony is trying to save face by playing the standard PR game of blaming the weaker partner. Sony had to be fully aware of everything going on with pre-release marketting and state of the game. Or they are admitting that they are blind and incompetent when it comes to marketing themselves. And that when publishing a game they don't do any kind of checks on the game or their developers.
http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/11/...on-experience/
http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/...s-unannounced/ has Sean Murray praising the Sony partnership and also mentions how contracts stop them from saying certain things. If Sony wanted to stop it they would have. If it was a success Sony would be stating the exact opposite. And anyone who thinks different is blinding themselves.

They are definitely trying to save themselves from as much of the problem as they can. But not being at the PS4 Pro reveal doesn't say much. Developers have to actually do things to improve their game to make it "Pro". However if NMS was a hit you can bet they would have required HG to do the necessary updates to make a "pro" version of NMS.

Just for a few hours and Spore was 75% off on steam during that time period. A game will see a spike in users during a time like that. Spore spiked because of the sale and quickly dropped off. NMS has been steadily dropping off the same basic pattern (some times low some times high) since release. http://store.steampowered.com/news/23853/

Holy shit, do consumer rights mean nothing to you?
People pledged money for a game, which is not the product that was delivered. Of course they get a refund.
If you buy a car, and they give you something with no wheels or steering wheel, can they sue you for refunding? Of course not.
At this point, I would just stop if I were you. It's embarassing.
Another big patch out without any fucking patch notes.
Do you use GOG? The patch was apparently bloated when using their automatic updater and it really wasn't a big patch at all at about 75mb for steam. Also their previous patches have all had patch notes. They are now listed in one spot on their website http://www.no-mans-sky.com/log/. They were a bit scattered before around a few of the official communication spots.
