Allow me to ask you the same question I posed to another user: does it not disturb you the chasm between the final product and the e3 presentations? Of course people are at fault for being so gullible but at the same time gtlitzed-up e3 presentations should share some of the blame. Shouldn't they? Not all of the blame but at least some.

People who expect the end product to look exactly like the footage shown at presentations in big events like the E3 should blame themselves when they are disappointed.

No blame to be handed out to overblown trailers?

This is just how the industry works. Every developer tries to show the best side of their product to the consumers in presentations. And in the end product a lot of them won't represent the same quality (like in the case of No Man's Sky). This is not only about the gaming industry, basically every industry works like this. If people want to avoid this, they shouldn't buy games day one. 

And I'm not happy about that. We should work towards changing it for the better. I favor a two-front attack: urge consumers to be more skeptical and urge producers to be more honest.
