Wasn’t Sony the Distributors? Weren’t they the ones marketing and promoting this game?
Wiki - with Sony Interactive Entertainment providing promotional and marketing support. Sony formally announced the title during their press conference at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2014.

So if you’re responsible for the promotion and marketing of NMS why didn’t they supply him with a PR agent? Why did they let him say the things he did for so long and not come out and say “Hey you need to stop posting on promises? Why did Sony not come out and correct him before the game launched?
Funny how they just stood on the side and let it happen, while claiming NMS as their own game and building up all the Pre-Order $$$.
If you’re going to claim a game as your own than they needed to do something. Now that Sony’s PS4 is in the same sentence as NMMS its all Hello Games fault, a small Indie team. I wonder if Hello Games will continue to make PS4 games after this.
