You do realize that in this very thread you are proving that to be a lie, right?  Rare is a 1st party studio made up of ~200 employees, who had ~4 years to work on this game, so where is the quality control from MS, as well as your criticism for the lack of it?  Instead you are making excuses for a full priced game being filled up with little more than "tutorial quests" and the same skeleton enemies over and over, just because it is on your console of choice. 

Then, go on to bash a company that is made up of 16 employees that aimed too high, just because it first appeared on the PS4 because Sony paid for timed exclusivity.  Do HG deserve criticism for not being honest about it not all being available at launch?  Yes, they do, and they got plenty of it.  But, so does Rare and MS for this game's overhyped launch and lack of content, not lame excuses.

There is nothing wrong with the quality of Sea Of Thieves. The game didnt have to lie to its customers to sell well. What you and many in here hate to admit is that SOTs just didnt turn out to be the game you wanted from Rare. 

Sony and Hello Games rode the hype generated by Shaun Murrey that made them alittle fortune at the cost of delivering a completely different experience to what was promise. He said the game had MP,  Sony didnt brother to correct it and all they did was allow the lies to happen. How could you let the game release on your own platform knowing that this game is nothing like what they claimed? I guess it explains why Black Tiger sits in the PSN store to.

Those that played the SOTs beta knew what the game was about. They added alittle bit more in the full game which i agree lacks content but the game is what it is. NMS even today is nothing like they promised.

So, MS and Rare exaggerate how rich the world will be, filled with awesome quests and many fantastical creatures, but has the same tutorial quests over and over filled with skeletons, which has many let down/pissed, and that's OK. No criticism of quality control for a 200 man, 4 year developed game. But, HG, not Sony, exaggerate their content, and it's Sony's fault. Got it. Lol. The bias pours through the screen.

BTW, that last line is a lie. After the 3 major updates, yes, it is like they promised. Probably even more so after the NEXT update. Still, they deserve criticism for how they handled the PR before launch. Just like MS and Rare deserve criticism for hyping this game to no end as their most ambitious game that would redefine a genre. Filled with almost endless customization and fantastical quests and creatures.
