"unrealistic hype"

People aren't complaining about "unrealistic improvements" they want added, they are complaining about a lot of missing features that were promised by Sean Murray himself.

Lying to sell your game and then disappearing without any explanation is hardly a "noble failure". Sean Murray made 40+ millions before taxes by lying, pre AND post release, and now he hasn't said any relevant words for the last 90 days, he only made a shitty joke when they were "hacked".

Well, consider that Spore sold LESS copies, but that, 1 month after the release of NMS, Spore was MORE played than NMS. This is how much of a mess this game is.
