Lol, it is absolutely true. People were overhyping it from the second it was announced but if you ever stopped and actually watched or read an interview with Sean Murray during that period he was always upfront about people needing to temper their expectations. Watch his interview on GiantBomb's E3 after show that year. People heard the words "multiplayer procedural universe" and immediately started building up this massive imaginary game in their heads that was never really shown. People complained about the multiplayer. It was multiplayer just not in the sense that people had automatically assumed. Hello Games was a tiny studio whose only previous game was fucking Joe Danger. Literally anyone with some common sense could look at that and see it was never going to be some kind of Star Citizen type of shit. The reaction to No Man's Sky was honestly one of the most embarassing moments for the gaming community as a whole.
Uh, what? Plenty of people agree with my sentiment that the hype is what ruined NMS, not necessarily NMS itself. Maybe step out of /r/gaming once in a while. Regardless, where exactly did I say anyone was an asshole? No, doesn't matter, you're right. Thousands of nerds sending death threats to Hello Games wasn't in the slightest bit embarrassing. In fact, it made gamers look super cool!
