No Man's Sky

[Jtbrig7390]

What happened on the 26th? Zero players.

Can't read Forbes article, due to their adblocking thingie.

Thought there'd be few players still in game, but not that few. Guess that's what happens when you screw up a game so much.

They're saying they got hacked, yet some in emails said SM confirmed it was from him. Was their email hacked too or was the post actually done by him?

Who knows, with them going radio silent for over a month it can swing ether way.

No matter what this will hurt them more. If he did it then it will hurt and if he didn't no one will believe him.

"Disgruntled employee" allegedly. Either that or Murray is having a nervous breakdown.

"Disgruntled employee" allegedly. Either that or Murray is having a nervous breakdown.

Personally I think the game is shit and false advertisement.

But no one deserves all the backlash he got (Death threats and shit) and that started well before the games release. So I wouldn't be surprised if Murray is having a breakdown or it is a disgruntled employee.

Not all of it, no. I thought the game was ok for a few hours and is still nice to chill out with, despite its problems.

[Zandalarian Paladin]

As much as I'm angry at the game for being a total letdown, the harassment the devs have been hit with is inhuman.

For **** sake people, these people have families, friends - most importantly, their lives must be hell right now. Give them a break, that's just ridiculous.

Agreed on the whole death threats thing. People issuing those over a video game are petulant and childish.

Normally I'd agree with that, but he is a criminal, he deserves every bit of it.

So now hes saying he got hacked. This reeks of a stressed man venting then going "oh fuck, you cant take back that shit on the internet" and rp'ing himself being hacked to backpeddle.

What a goddamn strange sight this is. Ironic thing i guess is if they were more transparent and didnt go radio silent for months people would recognise his posting style or not i suppose.

I find it quite amusing how No Man's Sky is nominated in pretty much every category of the Golden Joystick awards including..

Innovation of the Year
Best Indie Game
Studio of the Year for Hello Games

and of course, Game of the Year, both overall and for the PS4. I guess it's an honor just to be nominated

[Jtbrig7390]

Was he charged with something if not then hes not a criminal. Its a fucken video game and no dev no matter how big or small deserves the bullshit they have gotten.

Once again its a video game, If you bought it and got duped that is on you for being a bad consumer.

I cringed so hard when I saw that. What's wrong with them? I swear, if they even win the slightest award, I can garantee they will be booed, not applauded.

No, he does not. They do not. What the hell is wrong with you?

he's still being investigated.
It's not about a fucking game, it's about my hard earned money you jobless social fuck up.

You steal my money, you're open season for me.

That's one of their biggest screw ups. Well, that & the porkies told about the game in the first place, but just going silent I could understand if they were working like mad to patch the game into what it should've been/could've been, then fine. But that seems less & less likely & the silence followed by this latest event has ruined what little good rep' they could've ever stood a chance of getting back.

As for the death threats, no, those were completely unwarranted.
The harassment is perhaps a bit OTT, but the mud slinging I think is fully deserved.

[Zandalarian Paladin]

Yes, their way of doing it was most likely illegal, but that's on sony, not Hello Game. It's an indie studio FFS, do you really think they could expect that? After seeing the game myself, I can't help but think this is all related to their inexperience and large lack of guidance from Sony. Why would they give them such a huge platform without counselling? That's like... throwing someone in an arena against a pack of lion with a sword because you're good against a dummy.

Also, you're the one at fault. Why the hell do you still preorder games?

[Jtbrig7390]

Don't be a bad consumer. Wait for reviews, this is 2016 you can find out everything you need to know days before a release or hours after. He is only be investigated by the ASA and all they can do is have him remove his current steam store page.

If you are going to comment on something know what you are talking about. Also love the childish insults what are you 12?

I don't think u know what the bolded word means.

I didn't pre order, I bought on launch day when the reviews where still good.

Sony did it? Was it Kazuo Hirai who sold those lies or was it Sean Murray?

[Jtbrig7390]

Please do provide these "Good" reviews because the game got the same type of reviews across the board and some where more detailed like AngryJoes.

Don't blame others for you being a bad consumer.

thanks for admitting that you didn't follow NMS before all that shit about them lying was revealed

[Jtbrig7390]

You must be new here because I was posting about NMS in this thread well before its release and fallowing it.

Seems all you can do is deflect and not admit its your fault you bought a bad game. Hello Games didn't point a gun to your head and make you buy it. Be a adult and accept the consequences of your action.

You didn't inform yourself of the game and therefore bought a shit game. Notice have many (myself included) didn't buy it, that's because we knew before and after it was going to be a shit show.

No matter how much they lied and how shit the game is, They don't deserve death threats and shit.

Stop acting like a spoiled brat and own up to the fact you made a bad consumer choice.

First, Jt does a good job of explaining why that money is in you and not them.

Second, Sony made the decision to put Sean as the PR man. They knew what the game looked like and they knew when the game was oversold. They're throwing him to the wolves, but they're the ones responsible for it.
