Played it for 200 hours in like three weeks. If I was younger, it would have become a longlasting addiction. But I've played too many games (haven't we all) at this point and nothing really grabs me like that anymore. In any case, I strongly believe this was his passion project and he had to overcome, stand over the problem at hand and the voices screaming at him. He took responsibility. He led. He faced his worst fears (among which, publich speaking). Massive balls.

This come back should have been a lesson to all gaming companies, but sadly it is still not. Here was a game that for all intensive purposes had failed at launch. Most gaming companies when they experience this failure, it is their own fault. They rushed the game, they over promised, and they lie about features. At this point you could say and what many game companies say is, "It's over." But they took a concept that people wanted, and they fixed it, and kept fixing it until it met and then exceeded expectations. And the game went from hated to loved. And what you would think was an opportunity window that couldn't be revived, turned out into a second wave of financial success just by making the game right. Now one might think that obviously you make grand scoped games right and the payout is huge. Wrong. The industry still sticks with greed and short-sightedness to their very own detriment. How sad.

I actually have a lot of respect for Sean Murray and he seems like a guy who just kind of got carried away and ended up in way over his head.

I'm glad IH made the video too because idk how many of us would have seen things from his perspective otherwise.

[@FR099Y]

It really just goes to show how much pressure is placed on developers from larger companies (in this case Sony). The people in charge of marketing and social media for these companies have no connection with the developers. They have no idea what's involved in making a game. Nor do they care if its any good. The only thing that matters is the revenue. Which is why they all go cash shop now. Video games are a business and its all about min-maxing profits.

Here's the deal though. Hello Games did something that Blizzard hasn't been able to do in ages, something that made the game monumentally successful. They buckled down. And they fixed the game. They fixed the bugs, added multiplayer, added content, and are STILL adding new content. They've fulfilled everything they promised initially and continue to deliver more. It certainly doesn't excuse the launch. But it goes to show that some developers DO learn their lesson, and work hard to show it.

watching this now I, as a developer (not a game dev, but still) can say - we, developers, tend to often overestimate stuff which is why we have all these other people helping us estimate it!

Been waiting for this one bois. This is basically the main way I consume Internet Historian's content at this point. Edit: Of course I watch it on Internet Historian's channel first.

This video was almost four years ago, it's crazy that this version of the game in 2019/2020 is so primitive compared to 2023/2024's version. I love No Man's Sky so much

@NovemberRain Lol still one of them salty day oners I see?

[@moze_-]

@NovemberRain Your loss I guess man. Have fun? Not sure what you get out of giving me hate cause I like a game you don't, but aight my guy. P.S: Sony had quite a bit to do with the game getting rushed. If there's a separate developer from the publishers, it's usually going to be the publishers that causes time related issues. At least from my experience.

[@moze_-]

@NovemberRain Neither am which is why I didn't buy the game until like a year and half after launch. After the team got a beating, hunkered down, and added a fair amount of upgrades and content to the game. Again, good for you but I like the game. Pretty simple. Don't know what part of your ego you're stroking by having this conversation with me, but again I like the game, you're not a fan, that's that. End of conversation lol. Maybe put this vitriolic passion for the hatred of this game, and the marketing practices used, to become a politician and make an attempt to bring laws into fruition that might prevent this in the future. Or, continue picking out some random dude who likes the game and trying to portray yourself as a higher being by not playing/disliking the game.

[@moze_-]

@NovemberRain Also, if you've played literally any AAA title in the past two years, you've contributed to this exact problem you claim to dislike about NMS.

[@ModernHolmes]

I'm glad they kept working on the game. I truly believe this game is great now, and more companies should do this with an incomplete project. They had the vision of what they wanted, and just kept making it. That is passion for the art, not just money and empty promises.

[@Devil-Speed8]

Oh my god. I feel ashamed that i had ever thought that hello games was a bad company this whole time. When i heard that the game was being improved. I still thought "bleh it matters not, he lied" So learning all this is making me realise "why isnt this the best game of all time!!? (Second only to my personal fav xenoblade)

Not going to lie. that video was incredible. shawn's story was actually pretty heartbreaking at first. so glad he decided not to give up. this guy has so much passion and drive it's insane. imagine you think it's finally your big break that someone like Sony wants to promote your game and they cause so much hype and tell you you cant talk it down at all. then stick him on stage. so much pressure. hate mail, ppl going to their office to threaten them. and he got the team together and kept going every time. what an incredible guy. not to mention he had 3 kids.

Sean Murray's body language in some of those interviews ended being rather telling. He frequently diverted his eyes or shrugged into himself when giving inaccurate responses. No Man's Sky did course correct but they definitely ran the hype machine beyond what they were delivering.

[@marekctvrty]

That may not be about lying. Introverts often cant keep eye contact at all even in honest conversations.

[@theguylivinginyourwalls]

@@marekctvrty It probably didn't help that he _knew_ they couldn't deliver what was promised because of the deadline, yet he couldn't talk it down because of the contract. I think the radio silence after that disaster of a launch was the best decision he made.

bruh that dude is a genius. Literally any other dev wouldve given up when they heard no lawsuit. This God among men took the bad reviews as a challenge

[@nathanduke4829]

I have a feeling that Sean actually meant all of that because he want to make a big game. But doing all of it in two year mean working on it 24/7 since that a lot of stuff that was going to be in there. So once you think about it, the game is actually a rush game ON it releases date. So if they get like more then one extra year, they will probably will finish it. Think about it, it a small game company so it will near impossible to make a game that big with all of those great mechanics in you. If you want a game that big, You probably need like 2 or 3 of the greatest game company to help them make it.

[@dinovoldo544]

He fell for Internet Historian's trap at the end of the video.

[@CalciumChief]

43:43 And that's the actual worst part about Warcraft 3 Reforged - that it's completely abandoned now. Everything could've been reworked, retooled or "fixed" if they just cared. There was a post saying ranked and profiles were being worked on, but then the whole classic games team got disbanded and while stuff like D3 or even HotS can still get some updates War3 is completely dropped now. And it's not like they don't have the money or manpower (Hearthstone makes the kind of money needed in an hour), they just don't want to. Higher-ups see W3R as complete financial falirue and want to bury it. There's been two big sales since Diablo 2 Resurrected release and it's been on both of those sales, but W3R hasn't been on any since it launched. The only way they could bury it more would be if they pulled it off the shop's page, but that's a complete waste of any potential money.

[@z1mt0n1x2]

Oh boy I can relate to so many games that took the wrong route, and studios that were pushed by their publishers to ruin... It amazes me that these guys actually did the right thing and fixed the game instead of milking it as it was. I can bet that this game wouldn't have had such a bad start if Sony would just let them finish the game as planned to begin with, but that's the nature of publishers. Ubisoft, EA, Activision, hell even Bathesda pushed for Fallout 76 (so they say), did anyone actually think Sony would be any different? Anyway, I applaud this developer for being one among a handful that actually does the right thing.
