I think Troy Leavitt (@ 12:43) said it best. Sony didn't play an active role in overhyping NMS, but the company was not blameless. Sony had the chance to tell Hello Games to dial the hype back, but ultimately did not. |
Personally, I see it no different than advertising rights to a 3rd party game, which this is. Sony, or MS, gives them stage time to promote their game, as well as help fund advertising, but it's ultimately on the dev/pub to be honest with the gamers. It would be like blaming Sony/MS/Nintendo for Ubisoft downgrading the visuals/game play in one of their games. SoT is a first party game from one of MS's main studios, which was given 4 years to develop this game. So, blame goes 100% on Rare and MS's shoulders.
