Yeah, that's a bit disingenuous take on the situation at the time.

While Sony could have toned down the marketing and better worked with Hello games, Sean Murray went on a absolute PR streak lying over and over in so many interviews about features that weren't in the game at the time and realistically wouldn't be added until many years after.

Then they released a half baked game which was missing basically every feature the gaming community was actually excited about.

They remdemed themselves and NMS in its current form is a fantastic game deserving of praise, but Hello Games deserved all the hate at the time. Entirely their fault.
