This guy is so genuine and passionate about game development, its kinda really sad to see how some gamers have responded.

It sends a big message to indie devs.

Also they still updating the game so i don't see how his social media silence can be interpreted as running away. He will just get flooded with hate to anything he says.

 

It's a two way relationship: you speak to gamers, you create a bond with them, you build your trust and they will look after you and support the work you do. You screw them over and you lose all of that. 

 

This should send a huge message to all indie and larger developers and publishers. Stop biting the hands that feed you. Stop talking shite and releasing half baked, rushed out buggy games - especially at full price! 

 

It is going into hiding. No one knows what the hell is going on with the game. They are updating stuff by mostly fixing bugs, glitches, graphics, and sprucing up load times, mining times etc. No one still knows when the missing features will be added, no one knows why shit was taken out of the game, no one knows when and if it will be added, no one knows at what cost it will be added. 

 

Had they been straight up like Capcom and said we have very limited resources and money, but this is the game we plan to make, however, due to limitations we will release the base game now at this cost and you will get these features. The next month we will add these features.... That would have made it okay, but they released this as a full game at AAA full game cost and left out half the shit, had a game that kept crashing and glitching, and to date we have no idea what they will add, when and at what cost. 

 

The responsibility squarely falls on Hello Games and Sean Murray since they are the developer and after creating the shit storm they have, they've decided to stop speaking to the people who invested in their game. No apology, no hint of sincerity, of hope, of salvation or anything.

eh...EA is still around and doing great, so Im not sure most gamers really hold a grudge for very long. Its like "Fuck EA for selling us a broken product like Battlefield 4, its criminal and they should be sued......Ill just get Battlefield 1 and play that until the suing begins"...

You damn right about that and people should have held them to account for it. 

 

I know I sound really bitter and I keep going on about it, but I genuinely don't fall for this shit. I've never ever bought a COD, Battlefield, FIFA, Watch Dogs, GTA etc on release as I know they are all overhyped. As a result of this I've never been burned and I have always got what I paid for. 

 

For some stupid reason I bought into the underdog story that is Hello Games and Sean Murray. I don't buy digital since its more expensive, but this time I did. I believed in Sean Murray and what he said. I was willing to pay extra to support this guy and his studio and I got shafted good and hard.

 

I think the issue here is that there are now people out there like myself who don't usually fall for shit that have this time around. The BF and COD guys know what to expect every year and the company doesn't go the lengths that Murray did. Additionally, they release a full game and they are AAA games with AAA teams. This is a AAA cost with subpar indie production values, missing features and a whole lot of silence. This feels like the Kaiser Söze of all video game fuck ups. Lol

Its pretty bad and I understand your frustration, but just like movies or books, buying a video game is a risk. Sure its a more expensive risk, but thats where reviews and social media come in. People like Jim Sterling isnt telling us to stop pre-ordering for the fun of it.

good strategy, people seem so desperate to get a reply from him that when he finally opens his mouth again a headline is pretty much guaranteed. i'd say stay hidden shawn until the ps4pro vr version of no mans sky is ready for download on psn.



The whole situation with NMS is something from out of a circus from all sides.



Millions lie in wait....

Where are you Murray? We're waiting for you... Lol.

Only a fool would post. Maybe he is a fool, I don't know but I know I damn sure wouldn't post as nothing I'd say would matter to those waiting breathlessly for my tweet.



l <---- Do you mean this glitch Gribble?  If not, I'll keep looking.  

 

 

 

 

I am on the other side of my sig....am I warm or cold?

yes i know-  it was a joke

Oh, my bad.lol

NP- I was thinking if 14 quintillian was good 28 quintilian would be better(:

Matter of fact i m surprised Sean Murray has not told everyone that EVERYTHING he said was in the game is actually in the game, just that no one has found it all yet-  I mean 14 quintillian!!! is that even a real number?  To me that number is just funny every time he wold say it

Is that message "hey don't repeatedly lie through your teeth about your game leading up to release"? Because if so, then mission fucking accomplished :)
