Moon Studios co-founder calls authors of No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 charlatans

It took him to release some damn crappy games for the press and gamers to finally stop listening to lies. Then there was Sean Murray, who apparently studied directly under Peter Molyneux’s guidance.

This guy apparently just loved being in the spotlight. Even a few days before the release of No Man’s Sky, he was spinning multiplayer that didn’t even exist, and was very happy, allowing people to think that No Man’s Sky is Minecraft in space, where you can do literally anything.

When No Man’s Sky was finally released, the game received a lot of negative reviews. The product was completely different from what Murray was promoting.

But what happened next? They have released a bunch of updates, so let’s forget about the initial lies and deception. Let’s shower him with awards again, because he finally kind of made the game the way it should have been years ago.

Thanks, Jeff Keely. Encouraging this behavior will undoubtedly help the industry grow stronger.

Every video released by CDPR has been carefully crafted to create a picture in the minds of the players that was just insanely convincing. They stopped, almost stating outright that this thing would cure cancer.

This strategy resulted in a sensational 8 million pre-orders. The product was just a part of what the developers were promoting. On top of that, the game barely even ran on consoles, which should “work surprisingly well.”

And even the “journalists” of this industry happily played along, every time. […]

Yes, negative reviews appear, but, as a rule, you can see a lot of people who then argue that they still like the released game. This is not the point at all.

It doesn’t matter if the miracle cure is tasty. Don’t sell me opportunities that don’t exist. Don’t paint a picture you can’t finish. Just don’t lie to me.
