Socks or mocks?
I imagined it when Sean imagined he didn't say anything about multiplayer.Is this a new text?
You can't trust a man who's barefoot.
What a pile-on this thread is. Another internet shit storm over something hardly anyone would ever experience in the first place.

They don't have a financial deal with Sony outside of promotion. Certainly not one that fiscally rewarding.Bedlam (great name) - it's a 12 person studio. They still don't have the Steam release locked or uploaded. I know one of the big PC streamers, they haven't been given a copy because they aren't done still. Sean hasn't slept in a week, he wrote the first line of code and he's still coding now. I've seen their studio - the BBC did a tour of it recently - it's literally one room of people eating pizza at their PCs (who also read here, as they link to it on their website).
Also, business reality - Sony are their physical publisher and have legal rights because of that. There is no way Sean is going to randomly tweet something out generating headlines like "No Man Multiplayer" as their multi-million pound deal is rolling out, Sony would go el-Nutto.
For people that say this is an "easter egg", an easter egg is something I can find. If someone tells me they hid one and I search for hours to find out they really didn't hide it, I'd be pretty pissed.
That being said, Sean wouldn't lie, so I'm pretty confused right now.
now that's what i call a pile-on
Oh, look. Pure little developer found some time to promote the PC launch. So nice of him to think about us.
Ignores what?
Reading the last few pages on skyboxes, fake suns, and closed in solar systems with planets that don't orbit is depressing.
Looks likeMorrowindDaggerfall is still the "game map size" champ.
i am not gonna fall for another of those memes.did he really say that?
This just strikes me as a mental level of vitriol
Not only did they say that, it was in an interview from February this year! The game was only 3 months away from going gold at that point.
actually only sean is allowed inside barefoot

It's many big skyboxes, each with several planets in it and one image of the sun on the side which you can never reach. It's no seamless space. Manual travel between solar systems is not possible. Need to load/warp from a menu.So wait, I'm confused. Is the galaxy static or do planets actually orbit their stars and the stars the center of the galaxy? Do you encounter gravity when in orbit? If you're on a planet and look up at a night sky that's a skybox not the actual position of the stars as you'd see them looking up? What fake suns? I was under the impression this game was like a more interactive version of Elite or the pretty awesome Space Simulator? Is this not what that is? How big are the planets you land on? Man this seems to be getting more confusing the more I read this thread.
No he didn't. Not at all. Those tweets were completely independent. That's just what some interpreted into them.No really, Murray already responded to the controversy on his twitter. Attributed the two players not seeing each other to server issues caused by too many people playing at the same time. What more do you want?

I'll do an avatar bet with you that that isn't the case for the game. There's no multiplayer right now, on August 11th, 2016.
He honestly should of said something by now, even the worst PR person would have said something at this point. Only reasonable thing I can think is he's not allowed to say anything currently.
About this gag-order talk. I imagine the only thing that Sony could possibly put a gag-order on is him admitting that there is no ability to actually meet other players. This is assuming that Sony wants to be deceitful, and its an unfair assumption. Even if that were the case, it wouldn't change the fact that he lied. It would only mean that he is unable to admit that he lied.
who are they kidding?

Artistic director Grant Duncan recalled roaming an alien planet once shooting at birds out of boredom. I hit one and it fell into the ocean, he recalled. It was floating there on the waves when suddenly, a shark came up and ate it. The first time it happened, it totally blew me away.
Tell me lies tell me sweet little lies.
One of you is getting crackachu'd
Oh, look. Pure little developer found some time to promote the PC launch. So nice of him to think about us.
So much so that you can't even pre-load it! Isn't he nice, ignoring all the questions being asked.
Oh I do love these down to earth and humble indie developers!
So nice. So barefoot.
Don't worry, Sean. Take your time. You can give the answer after your next vacation.

I've already decided to wait until Saturday morning to buy the game just to wait out the PC launch. If there's no new clarification or info, or if new fuckery comes out of the PC version, I'm not buying it until I start seeing an all-clear.

You underestimate corporate fuckery to protect week 1/2 sales.
We'll get a response/apology/something but it will be as drawn out as possible to maximise $$$ flying the fuck into bank accounts.
PC launch is imminent, gotta protect those sales and pre-orders about to hit.
Unfortunately, a lot of people from the looks of it....
What? That is a damn honor, son!

As I said, even if that assumption was made, it would mean that he still lied and is just unable to admit it at this moment.

Are you suggesting Murray is naive then? Because the implication here seems to be that his radio silence is deliberately to try to avoid the issue even thought he could do that just as easily by continuing to tweet about anything and everything else while selectively ignoring the MP issue.Is this a joke or what?
This guy was tweeting constantly each day right until the "can we see other players?" question blew up. Then sudden radio silence.
You've got to be naive to no end if you believe he has no time to respond.
That whole article was ridiculous, it read like some overblown overhyped PR master bullshit quite frankly.
But can you see each other?show me a single source of Sean mentioning online and multiplayer in the same sentence. I'm sitting next to him now and we're having the time of our lives, playing together and gripping one part of the controller in each of our hands
You seriously believe that?
I'll do an avatar bet with you that that isn't the case for the game. There's no multiplayer right now, on August 11th, 2016.
Whatever the reasons Sean/Hello Games has dun goofed. He shouldn't be accepting any deal with that sort of gag order in it either. Well, I personally don't think so if you value honesty and your ability to converse with customers.
Another poster who clearly hasnt read all the responses to this exact comment multiple time in this thread.
Uhm.... Yes.Are you suggesting Murray is naive then? Because the implication here seems to be that his radio silence is deliberately to try to avoid the issue even thought he could do that just as easily by continuing to tweet about anything and everything else while selectively ignoring the MP issue.
Again: Murray did not give an explanation.I agree that there is no multiplayer on August 11th, 2016. According to Murray it's due to server issues. I don't know if he's telling the truth. My point is that he already gave an explanation, so I'm not sure what else people are waiting for.
