It was plainly visible.
I tried to stay way from NMS thread because I was not interested by it since I didn't really understood the point of it but right when they announced the embargo and that the youtube video were purposely being deleted I was sure something was going on.

Game looked weak from what I saw pre-released. This just confirms it.
Haha awesome.

Yes please.
This abomination of a game/developer needs to be named and shamed as often as needed.

The funniest thing about this is that Sean said there would be some future paid DLC.

No he didn't

Well, even if multiplayer existed it is now very unlikely players will ever be in the same space because there are no players. Sean probably knew no one would want to play NMS after seeing the final product. So he technically wasn't telling a lie. Even if it was possible it's still very unlikely. Not a liar: fact!
He said it was a possibility: http://www.pcgamer.com/no-mans-sky-creator-walks-back-no-paid-dlc-statement/
That first reply...holy lol.
Which is not him saying there will be

"Maybe in the future theres some reason why we just couldnt possibly afford to do a certain feature without charging for it" is far from confirming paid dlc

He didn't outright announce it, but come on.. He stated in an interview there would be no paid DLC. Then like a week later he backtracked on that comment saying not to rule out paid DLC. Wouldn't have said that if there weren't plans. This is exactly why NMS is such a mess. His half assed answers to questions and complete lies. His paid DLC remarks are just another example of this.
But at the same time, at least he tried to correct his false statements here even if it was in a half assed not outright way. Props to Sean for kind of seeing he was full of shit this time I guess?
well... by now we should know that we need to take anything he says with a huge grain of salt. Him saying "possibly" could mean literally ANYTHING!

Again, read the actual quote
sure, I get being cautious of taking anything he says at face value, but mistrust != confirmation. There is a lot of stuff to hold against NMS without reaching
How surprising, given the hours you devoted to your 'refund crusade'...

Do you have to play NMS to think people that got suckered should get their money back? I wish I was that guy and saved my $60 plus tax.

Well the good thing is that even if he confirmed there will be, there might not have been anyway.

I wonder if the people whose opinions about that would be changed even realise that NMS is an indie game

I know I haven't played it in weeks. I won't until there's some more to do.
My thirst for Monster Hunter cannot be quenched.
My thirst for Monster Hunter cannot be quenched.
The indie tag has little meaning in this case, given the insane amount of marketing they got from Sony, and the well-established success of indie games on the PC platform. You are just using it as an excuse.
The way this game is constructed, it should hold its audience like Civilization or any other similar single player game with a theoretically endless amount of gameplay. It hasn't.
This is why you need a PR company period. Companies need to put someone in charge of dealing with the press, only tells them what is guaranteed for the game, and have him dodge anything that isn't 110% confirmed.
Let this be a huge lesson to game developers, the public perception of this game is in large part due to the way the PR was handled.
So good.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Nice.

This is too much..my sides
i just spit out my dinner laughing, and cried laughing. that was funniest thing i've heard in a while. thanks!!
i'm not sure i understand the repeated use of this gif, yet the point I am making is that it is odd to expend so much energy/time etc, when you don't even have 'a dog in the fight', so to say.
seems a bit crusader-ish - but good on you anyway.

All this drama could have been avoided with a $20 dollar price tag. Hopefully when it hits that price (or lower) they'll have made it into something worth your time and I can get it.

I don't know why people are so insistent on this being true. The game is still being patched and someone from Hello just confirmed incoming new content like a day or two ago

Hey now, Killzome SF is a much better game than NMS!
Source, pls?

Only if they continue as an indie outfit.
They could close down and everyone could get new jobs in the industry and nobody would be the wiser.
And that's only if they want to work, which clearly they don't have to anymore.

Those two factors have nothing to do with a game being indie. No Man's Sky is a self-published game, therefore it's an indie game.

Thank you for this, I almost started feeling bad for Sean.
