lol “news worthy”, literal train wrecks are news worthy. This is nothing but a successful marketing scam without an apology or even acknowledgement of any kind. This wasnt even a “we just couldnt get those things done in time” it was literally “oh yeah all that will be there day one for sure!” and it wasnt or even…

Cool story kid, you’re excused.

For real, dev scams millions with false advertising and releases early access game then goes silent. Releases even more mediocre “dog bone” content and Kotaku starts slobbering all over its knob with coverage like its a good game all along. Goddamn Kotaku whores out to anything for clicks these days.

Outstanding write up Jason really fun and insightful to read. Maybe Kotaku has some integrity left and not just overwatch cosplay and memes.

Good.

There is a rule book, it literally says dont constistantly lie and falsely advetise your product on television and at conferences then ignore the problem like you didnt just scam millions of people with actual made up features. This isnt an underdog story, this was a guy who took advantage of hype to profit. There is…

Just keep digging that hole Hello Games. Maybe fire Sean, apologize to your customers and THEN make dumb updates that dont really add substance to your game.

Yeah Kotaku has really become that radio station that plays the new song you like until you literally want to vomit when you hear it again for the 8th time in the hour. Seriously Kotaku dial it back.

Hype and literally lieing at every interview about features and possibilities are not the same. Pretty sad when society blames the mugging victim because the mugger was a smooth talker.

Still $15 too much, 64bit was the only improvement.

Right.......f2p games are hurting your big budget game sales......not the dominating trend of releasing unfinished, unpolished day one patch, dlc a month later for $30, hype train shit show trend.

Yes that or fired Sean with an apology to the customer base and then gave a blueprint on their update plans to see if there was anything to salvage.

You must be very young. A business literally falsely advertised a product and then sold it and then did not even remotely care when the population was pissed. You can’t do that, its unethical, its not something to be a norm and shrug off like “oh well don’t preorder just expect shit around every corner”. Bad business…

Who the fuck cares? Why were they working on anything at all? They literally false advertised the game across the board and then sold it at full price to everyone. You don’t get to “fix it” or “update it”, you get to sink and fail as a message to all developers out there that you can’t do this shit and still make…

So.... you’re saying its ok for devs to literally false advertise a game on talk shows and at game conferences. Yes nobody should be preordering anything ever but NMS hit a new low for the entire industry in term of shit and that is a fact not an opinion. They deserve every salty reply and dead cat in the mail they…

Great write up, I dont play the division and was glad I avoided it but your story makes me interested in maybe grabbing it on sale.

Great write up, these are becoming rare around here.

Yes, you are the only one looking for things that arent there based on who knows what.

cool story bro

Yes they can, its called game spoilers because the undertale fanbase cant stand seeing people play it “the wrong way”. Defensive little cancer club lol going by these replies, talk about toxic yuck.
