Disgruntled Hello Games Employee Tweets That No Man's Sky Was a Mistake, Though It Was Probably a Hack
Earlier today, a tweet that stunned the entire gaming community was sent by the official Hello Games Twitter account. The tweet simply said: No Human's Sky was a mistake.
Even though the account went into protected mode immediately later on, the Web remembers. Hither's a snapshot.
Considered that the tweet was sent via LinkedIn, the hacking option was immediately considered. But and then ii trustworthy websites reported independently that a disgruntled employee was responsible.
Outset, Polygon received an email from Sean Murray's account which stated:
The tweet is from me, just somebody from the team took it down. We have not been coping well.
And so, Forbes got in impact with Hi Games and a representative of the studio replied that a "disgruntled employee" sent that tweet and they were "currently trying to sort out the issue".
Finally, Mashable received a similar email from Sean Murray himself who said:
The tweet came from a disgruntled employee," Murray wrote in an email. "We're currently trying to solve the effect internally
Kotaku actually reported the total e-mail they received.
No Man's Sky was a mistake.
I have contacted you because the silence from Hi Games has been unwarranted and unprofessional. The community has asked me to speak upwards, and I have a confession to make. The game was only unfinished upon arrival. Our manus was forced by non only Sony, merely the community besides. The abiding harassment and accented gross misconduct on the community'southward part has made it difficult to fulfill our artistic vision, while the pressure from Sony to release the game as soon every bit possible forced united states to cut key features. I desire to apologize for what nosotros did non deliver on, equally the game does not meet upwardly to what our artistic vision was.
All the same, nosotros practice wish that the community was more understanding of our situation. Many people have asked for refunds despite our promise to continually amend and update No Man'southward Sky. We are just a pocket-sized studio that has poured our blood, sweat, and tears into this projection. The complete lack of respect when it comes to the work nosotros have done absolutely saddens not simply myself, but the team as well. Nosotros desire to improve the game to the point we dreamed of it being and beyond.
I hope everyone affected understands,
Sean Murray
However, Murray broke the silence (he had not spoken in any way since August 18th) to state that this was all a hack.
Server hacked. We're binging Mr Robot Episodes as quickly as nosotros can looking for answers. Ep05 is a cracker

If anything was a mistake, it was using Linked In without 2FA.

Finally, the official Howdy Games business relationship is once once again public and the original tweet was deleted, while the developer confirmed that even the e-mails sent out to the same websites were fabricated past the hacker.
No Man'southward Sky was initially revealed at the VGX 2022 and apace gained a huge post-obit for an indie game. After a few delays, it released on PC and PlayStation 4 this August to mixed critical reception and huge fan backlash due to several broken promises.
Several Steam users asked and obtained a refund by Valve. The game's overall user reviews are at present labeled equally "generally negative" with a 31% approval rating, while recent reviews are "overwhelmingly negative" with an incredibly low ix% approving rating.
Are you still playing No Man'southward Sky and if and then, what do yous call up of this unfortunate state of affairs? Tell u.s.a. in the comments.
