[quote] I followed the marketing of NMS from the day it was announced to the day it was launched.[/quote] Evidently not very closely. [quote]The devs made it clear at every step along the way that the game was going to be a SINGLE PLAYER game and a survival/exploration game. But instead of gamers doing their homework they let their imaginations run away with them. Then twisted one vague and out-of-context quote from development lead to mean what they wanted it to. [/quote] You are not living in reality. Sean Murray lied on multiple occasions and was very explicit. Your claim that it was "one vague and out-of-context quote" is dishonest. [quote]But how gamers responded to that disappointment is an example of everything wrong with gaming and gamers as a culture right now. If we’re going to demand that devs be accountable for their actions, we have to be for ours.[/quote] The overwhelming majority of gamers are not sending death threats to developers over delayed releases, lies, or anything else. No one is suggesting that the people responsible for this sort of garbage shouldn't be held accountable. [quote] Yet gamers are always looking for someone to blame when they’re unhappy.[/quote] You will blame the consumer every single time, regardless of the circumstances. You're doing it right now.
