Say what you will about the game itself (personally, I thought it was fine; not really worth $60, but not the massive pile of trash several people make it out to be), but what isn't deniable is that there [i]were[/i] a lot of things that Sean Murray implied/straight up showed in a demo to be in the game that weren't. It doesn't matter if he never definitively said that "yes, these features will 100% be in the game", he still led people to believe the game was something more than it turned out to be. They advertised it to be a massive space exploration game with tons of interesting stuff to find and some sort of large-scale space battle system, what we got was a massive space exploration game with all the interesting stuff in only the first few hours, and at best space battles against a squad of 6 pirates/a couple cargo ships. Maybe this was more the fault of Sony's marketing. Maybe Sean Murray and the rest of Hello Games did, at one point, get all the promised features in the game, but had to cut them out due to one reason or another. Maybe Sean Murray really [i]did[/i] intentionally lie, though I have my doubts about that. The fact of the matter is, because almost nothing is being said from anyone behind No Man's Sky, we don't have any way of knowing for sure just what the hell happened with the thing. One other thing: Hello Games's silence is both deafening and stupid. They made a few tweets after the game came out, talked about future updates, gave us some performance patches, and then... Nothing. Not responding in any way to the massive backlash the game is facing is bad enough, but the fact that [i]they aren't even talking to or supporting the people who still play the game[/i] is completely baffling to me. Unless they do something soon, they're going to loose any respect they might still have. Tl;Dr: Sean Murray objectively did lie about the game, whether it was his fault or not. Also holy shit why isn't Hello Games saying anything at all, that makes you look bad to literally everyone, including people who still support you
