Already Happened. Scroll back you'll find it.
Oh for fucks sakes.
LOL
PSST - How do I get some money out of this?

To be fair the main point of contention though at this present time is the lies told and the principal behind it, I think all of this would be cleared up by Sean just coming out and being honest...
Which I fully expect will happen after the PC launch.
The Reddit post says they finally saw each other. So I'm missing what happened?

Well, there've been many warnings that this game was overhyped to high heaven, concerns about procedurally generated content etc. Many wouldn't listen and chose to continue imagining their own fantastic space game. The developers played around with these expectations, set many of them that now are not getting fulfilled and cultivated the misconceptions with intentionally vague information.
It's just this year's most prominent victim of videogame hype culture.
Inspiring.
I stepped off my ship onto a new planet. I knew someone had been here because this planet already had a name.
It was a beautiful planet though. I spent hours there collecting and observing the wildlife.
As I sat there, just staring into nothing (or was it everything?), I thought I saw something off to the side of the screen, in the distance.
Was it another person? The first discoverer of this planet? A new friend?
I walked closer, hoping that I wouldn't scare them off. "I come in peace," I thought to myself with no way of informing them otherwise. The excitement was like nothing I've ever felt before.
But when I reached the spot, there was nothing. How had they got away? I was alone again.
Well, now I know they were never there because Sean is a liar. The planet's name was 'Duckshit', by the way. That's what this game is to me now.

The breathless, outraged tone of some of these posts is really something.

I think No Man's Sky is Sean trying to send us a message, him being coy on the details because at the centre of this universe layeth the meaning of life itself, the essence of our very beings.
Once we reach that place we will no longer need to "see" anything, that's the message with this game I believe, we don't need to "see" we don't need to be with others, isolation with the slight promise of communication which is swiftly taken away from us just as we think it's close because that is life, forever changing, forever suffering, 18 quintillion planets and not a single soul to see, we know people are there but we can't reach out to them and touch them...all we want is to be touched...
It's brilliant, he's a genius.
And you wonder how things like Gamergate get started. After awhile their anger just fuels more anger but people fail to step back and realize what they're arguing about really isn't that important.
I'm eating lunch imagining Bish standing over this thread, hammer raised high above his head as he constantly looks over to EviLore in anticipation. Waiting so desperately for that slight nod of the head that grants him power to unleash his wrath.
God help the juniors when the Last Guardian OT goes live.

The PC version is still 2 days away and the game is getting 50% scores with Mediocre reviews and there's all sorts of drama with not being able to actually see someone else in the game, not to mention people are meeting up with each other much sooner than Sean said we would.
I have gone from extreme hype for this game on Monday to possibly canceling my Pre-order and just waiting a few months to see if they patch it up with more features.
How could so much attention and hype have been given to a game that never really showed off much of anything except a math formula?
Sean was on late night TV shows for heaven's sakes!
Mojang didn't get on Late Night TV until AFTER Minecraft was already a hit game!
How did it come to this? Are we all just really desperate for a good space-exploration game that we're willing to let our guard down and accept mediocrity?
I am sad.
=(
So last time I checked this thread it was on page 35... Are we still on the consensus that the servers just weren't working?

They tried it again. Nothing.
Someone has to get to the center of the galaxy first and flip on the "multiplayer" switch.
You could argue that those two people meeting on twitch and working together has formed a deep bond, a true friendship from this entire experience, maybe that's the point?
Maybe Sean has made the ultimate cooperative experience?
Have you guys not been using the tracker?
Sure. Sean just needs to remember:
Sure. Sean just needs to remember:
Multiple times over the course of two years of development, Sean said things to the effect of "you can see other players." If that's not true, he lied. If development plans changed and they didn't implement it, they should say that. People in this thread have actually been really civil and I don't see people demanding the game be changed, but I do see people who want to know if a promised feature was pulled with the only notification being a vague tweet less than a full day before release.
That doesn't sound like "entitlement" to me.
Maybe the player characters are so alien and removed from human likeness our brains cannot comprehend their shapes and thus are unable to perceive it.

Well that's depressing.
Here's hoping Sean and co add more traditional multiplayer in a future update.
Sure. Sean just needs to remember:
Is anyone open to the idea that it's still planned but since it's launch day the servers are being hit pretty hard?
Maybe Neil Degrasse Tyson knows.
He did say that they are nothing like we've ever seen. Maybe those weird squirrel aliens were other players.

Yeah, maybe they're invisible.
NO!!! Because he LIED TO US!!!!!!111!!1 Where's the pitch forks?
