Sean Murray traditionally teases No Man’s Sky news with a single emoji tweet, but he’s also used the “world” emoji in posts about Light No Fire’s open world.

Keep your eyes open for potential news in the next few days!

    #FuckSeanMurray

    His company shouldn’t have survived from his explicit and direct false advertising and constant, blatant lies to the community in the weeks leading up to the release of the game. He’s a scammer and a conman.

      Ehh, I’d agree if the game never progressed past its launch state. But they’ve since more than lived up to the initial promises of the game. And everything since launch has been added for free. So I’m willing to support them again under the assumption that they will support this new title in the same way they did for No Man’s Sky. Maybe don’t pre-order though haha.

        Nah I went back and played it again after people claimed it was good now, and while it was better it’s still not a good game and not what was originally promised.

        Disagree, based on what I’ve seen. They’ve barely gotten close to what was originally claimed. And even if they had, that doesn’t excuse the lies and false advertising that Sean spent all of his time on before release.

        Oh, nice - 8 years later and only some of what they claimed was in the game at launch are still lies!

          That’s blatantly untrue and it’s obvious you have no first person experience with the game that exists now. You’re either being intentionally ignorant or just shit posting for imaginary internet points.

            So you’re telling me that you can destroy space stations and land on asteroids? Did you ever get unique ships? How about cloaking devices?

              You can land on destroyed space stations. Destroy huge freighters. Can’t land on asteroids as far as I know. But you also can get unique ships you can even build your own now. And I’m pretty sure there are cloaking devices in the game now.

                Sooo they have 2 to 4 of what the guy mentioned. Seems like saying “doesn’t have the features promised on launch” is still valid.

                  The guy cherry picked 4 features out of hundreds that were promised and have been delivered on. Who gives a shit about landing on asteroids when there are literally countless planets and some of them are basically just barren rocks. Destroying space stations doesn’t really fit into this gameplay loop and wouldn’t really make sense given the upper end of the power curve in NMS.

                  Listen, I don’t love the game. I played probably 20-30 hours back in 2020 and have reinstalled it briefly a couple times since. It wasn’t really my favorite style of game, but it’s perfectly enjoyable.

                  To be this upset about some fairly innocuous broken promises speaks volumes about this person’s mental health. ESPECIALLY since we’re talking about a game. These are the kind of people that send devs death threats.

                    Who cares about asteroids? The people who were promised it. Said it is already in the game.

                    You call it innocuous promises I call it screwing over players and expecting people to be okay with it.

                  You clearly haven’t played the game. That’s funny…

                  Spoiler alert: whiny little butthurt babies like you are in the minority. You are the tiniest, most insignificant speck compared to us and it shows . Have fun with your tiny baby temper. You sound like one of those dipshits that are so angry they send death threats over a videogame (pathetic infantile stupidity). We will be praising Sean :)

                    All I’m reading is “waaah waaah somebody doesn’t like the game I like waaah”.

                    Learn to actually counter arguments instead of throwing 15 ad hominems thinking one will stick.

      Jeez, Cyberpunk also undelivered at launch and both are good games now.

      On top of that Hello Games released free game updates ever since, if that doesn’t redeem the game, nothing will.

        If you bought something like a new instrument or TV and realize when you get home that it’s broken, would you forgive and respect the seller if they promised to fix it over the course of 8 years???

          You would refund it and move on with your life like any sane human being. Most people wouldn’t hold a grudge because they got over promised and under delivered on a video game nearly a decade before.

          I don’t think anyone is defending the launch state of NMS in contrast to what Sean Murray was promising, but it has been pretty clear for a long time that Sean was not trained on pre-release community interaction, got caught up in the excitement of the hype-machine, and way oversold the state of the game. They have since had between 20 and 30 FREE major updates and have turned it into a decent and unique game that tons of players love.

          What more do you people want?

          Like the Cybertruck? Yeah I’d return that shit back and buy something else until they fix it.

          I refunded No Man’s Sky on Steam shortly after release and bought it for cheap later when they released a couple of updates.

            That’s reasonable, but the question wasn’t what you’d do. It’s if you’d still respect the person who sold it to you while knowing it wasn’t what they told you it was.

              In his case I did, because actions speaks louder than words and he worked hard to fix the rushed release.
