The reason why both him and you are getting more down votes is due to the fact that you both are talking crap and obviously did not read the article.What blame game are they playing exactly? Who are they blaming in the article and what are they blaming them for? Read the damn article THEN comment. They aren't throwing blame at anyone.

NMS is an indie game that tried to reach the AAA games. It lacked in many things but it excelled in many things too.

Summary of the article.
1: the foundation update made the whole game change to the better, especially the terrains.
2: Hello Games were too small and understaffed to handle the sheer number of players. They were expecting 14k players to be online first day.
3: running out of money while still making the game.
4: the new foundation update reached 1 million players.
5: Hello Games will still continue to support the game and other procedural generated games in the future.

IMO, the game's concept is unique and exciting. however, the game lacked in many aspects of an AAA title, which we believed or hoped it to be.

I still think he didn't lie about multiplayer. He did say it's a very rare chance to see another player and that the game is not aimed to be multiplayer. he even said even if we see another player it wouldn't be easily spotted, but it is possible. and about the amazing trailers of the game which in reality there were many ugly planets with ugly creatures, well, it's a trailer! obviously they will put the best, but still, they should have shown some of those boring planets. but that's why there are reviews right? who would buy a game without seeing its reviews?

the game's concept is amazing, if only they could add more stuff to do in the game. like making bases, form clans, maybe start a civilization if a player wanted etc. that would be amazing but it won't be NMS anymore.

You must have not read much about the game then. You say "I still think he didn't lie about multiplayer. He did say it's a very rare chance to see another player and that the game is not aimed to be multiplayer. he even said even if we see another player it wouldn't be easily spotted, but it is possible."

Well, think again.

"He did say it's a very rare chance to see another player"
Two players met less then a day after release. A famous meme even ensued after that "Mind blown", because he ignored all the questions regarding this as it was happening. Some, very early on after release started their new game to find themselves on a planet that was already visited. . Lie #1

"even if we see another player it wouldn't be easily spotted, but it is possible"
The aformentionned two players, and others after that, proved that you can't see anyone, after meeting at the same spot, even taking a picture of it. Lie #2

And there are many other lies. It's "mind blowing" to me that people still defend this dude. I have no doubt that they were overwhelmed, but it doesn't excuse the silence or the multiple blatant lies when he was interviewed, which he never denied when given the occasion, even close to release.

Exactly. I know I still have yet to see a giant land snake or found giant shipwrecks. And this was stuff that was there when they FIRST showed the game off.

Look, I enjoyed the game and the Foundation Update made it better but it's maddening when people act like nothing was wrong with it or they didn't lie.

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
