I'm not going to try to gaslight you since your memories are your own. But consider your memory of 9 years ago in the light it occurred. After huge hype, the entire gaming world turned Hello Games and Sean Murray into a meme. Every video was clipped and cut to make him look like a mustache twirling villain that was lying to trick gamers into buying his shit shovel-ware game. We have this vision of a huckster game developer whose entire grift is to hype and then abandon games and Sean became the poster child for this. This was made much worse by Sony strongly pushing No Man's Sky as an indie success story adding even more fuel to the hype. But lets consider the next 9 years and ask: does the behavior of Sean match that caricature? If he was indeed the lying manipulative hype man that reddit memes made him out to be, how would we expect him to act? Wouldn't he take the money and run? 5 years after the launch, the engoodening video from Internet Archivist was released. Penny Arcade also has that famous cartoon from a few years ago. His reputation is mostly laundered now. Why do they keep releasing free updates? Why is he not shovelings out a bunch more over-hyped crap? Do you think this is the longest 9 year con job in the history of games? That is the lack of perspective I am talking about. Sean oversold the game and got called out for it. He was put in the public stocks and people threw rotten vegetables at him. Then he and the rest of the team spent 9 years quietly grinding away to prove they believed in the game and believed in their vision. You remember some videos cut to make him look evil 9 years ago. I'm talking about 9 years of him showing who he and his team really are.
