PC version is coming out tomorrow, bit difficult to play at the moment for some.For all we know, the man could be on vacation and doesn't want to get caught up in this discussion till he's back in the office. I can't believe this thread is still going on. People buying this game for the online feature alone is a joke as well. You cannot tell me you were on the fence and the mention of online and a "slim" chance of finding someone was enough to push you over and buy this game. It wouldn't have even been a big enough feature to see people on these plants playing to drastically change the dynamics of the game. Those of you bitching about this and not playing the game are truly missing out.

I've worked in media and entertainment for a good handful of years now and ive literally never heard of an NDA that says what you can and cant talk about after a game/product releases
If sony made an NDA that included langauge that kept sean murray from answering the reasonable questions people have, then this is a whole different level of fucked.
Hes not answering cause it will cost first week sales. there is no other explanation that actually makes sense in reality not the bubble some of you guys are living.
This thread is great.
Though actually I feel the comparison isn't quite apt -- Molyneux at least exaggerated about interesting things, and after the fact usually pretty up front about it. Murray [seemingly] lied about a somewhat boring feature he didn't really need to lie about, and has yet toown up to it[address it].
My money is on "Oh shit I thought we could patch it in before people noticed it wasn't possible." then doubling down on "maybe we can patch it in before it becomes a PR nightmare."
Yes, just because he downplayed the multiplayer focus means that he can obviously remove it / not make it clear that it's still in the game.
Yes we're allowed to be lied to. This is basically what I'm getting from you.
We are not trying to break him down. You just came in here to assume things.
All we're discussing is getting a clear and concise answer: "Is this feature still in the game? Yes or no?"
I don't see why you came in here other than your human nature, boredom and your mob mentality to not read the thread and drive-by with a comment.
Why the fuck was the online multiplayer logo even on the box if the developers knew there was no online multiplayer in the game?
I really don't understand this... did they really expect people not to find out the game doesn't have multiplayer?
PC is being released tommorow so that might be when the NDA finally ends. If not, we have some serious things to consider

I do think people love controversy, and love to break people down, especially when said people are popular. So, while he made many statements down playing the multiplayer focus and saying it's generally single player, we have people "freaking out". Because human nature, boredom, mob mentality. Carry on.
It's not in the game. Period. Move on.
Or we can act like jaded spouses that were cheated on.
....
No, they never saw each other.
If true this was 4700 posts of hilarity
SS or didn't happen
What NDA????
The press has the game man. theres NO NDA
Update 3: 8/10/2016 12:42AM. Thank you to all the people who tuned in to my stream you really made my week! I was so nervous when I found another player I was barely able to function but we did it! Me and Psytokat beat the odds and found each other already! I will try again soon to see if we can try again when the servers are more stable. Stay tuned!
This update is what i got confused with.
An NDA for not being to talk about game modes in a released game?Exactly, but this could be some bs NDA that exists that they are under to make sure sales do not drop and preorders are not cancelled.

So, all the steam discussion posts were wiped. If I needed any more reason to doubt that the game on PC will be a disaster......
I've been busy playing the game for the last couple days, had no idea such a controversy was going on lmao

Their wording is messed up there and ambigious.
They found each other in that they found the same system.
They never met each other or saw the other's avatar
Sean is part of the pantheon now
So where is this thread at? People still in denial and defending what clearly was a lie?
he didn't lie. stop saying that. Sean wouldn't do that.
it was a fib, at worst. but, most likely, just a misdirection.
Hey guys, it's OK. They weren't trying to lie, they were just making sure the truth didn't get out before they got $60 out of as many people as possible.
you realize that makes this like, if true....waaaay more fucked up right?
If that's the case, then the developer lied and their honesty is at stake.
You even said he downplayed the multiplayer focus but in actuality, he was making empty promises. I don't see why you would support someone who makes empty promises even if it's one promise.
It would've been better if he cleared this up way before the game launched.
I can act as I please as we have been discussing in this thread what are the possibilities for the media silence and whether Sean is lying or not. I don't see why I should move on when this is a topic of discussion and sort of the point of the thread. If you had nothing to say, then there was no need for you to post your comment.
But hey, if Sean lying is no problem to you, that's it. Period. Move on. You don't wish to discuss with us in this thread.

Also, who is the guy on the right?
In a Reddit AMA, No Man's Sky director Sean Murray said his "best guess" is that it will come out at 11 AM PDT / 2 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT on August 12. This is not set in stone, however, Murray cautioned.
"We'll keep you up to date as we get closer," he said.
Also, who is the guy on the right?
Bethesda's RPG head, called Todd Howard I believe, but could be wrongthanks for the clarification.
Also, who is the guy on the right?
My Limited Edition doesn't have a sticker over it, says "Online Play" and then underneath in parenthesis it says (optional)
¯\_(ツ_/¯
It's Cliff Jaffe, the guy behind games like: Binary Fandango and Sonics Exoddus.Also, who is the guy on the right?

That's because it only exists on here and the NMS subreddit. No one else actually cares.
One of two things can happen. You will see a patch which allows you to "see other people", or not. I'm willing to bet that patch would not be coming today, or tomorrow, or this month. It's clearly not hidden in it today. I'm simply trying to be realistic, the expectation has already been set.
What? I'm pretty sure exploring planets and galaxies online with others was like one of the biggest draws to the game for a lot of people since the reveal of this game.
It's one of the bigger stories right now within the games media. IGN, Kotaku, youtube guys, etc. I even stumbled across German articles earlier without even looking for them.That's because it only exists on here and the NMS subreddit. No one else actually cares.
PC version is coming out tomorrow, bit difficult to play at the moment for some.
And I don't think he is on vacation in the week his games launches and is yet to come out on a platform. Come on now.
Why would he be on vacation if the PC version launches tomorrow?
Also, I know it may seem crazy for some of us to not want to reward vague PR and unclear messaging, but it's where we stand.
I'm flabbergasted this thread is still going. Reminds of the Dark Souls 2 graphics downgrade drama.
I don't understand why people can't let this shit go.
But that's how I feel, I let this sort of stuff go, probably means I'm a sucker
You don't get to Molyneux levels of reputation in one day. The entitiy Molyneux, formerly known as Peter Molyneux was decades in the making. It took years of hard work, lies, broken promises and deception.
People going overboard in their thirst for controversy.
As far as im aware, Peter always admitted that it couldn't be done right before release.You don't get to Molyneux levels of reputation in one day. The entitiy Molyneux, formerly known as Peter Molyneux was decades in the making. It took years of hard work, lies, broken promises and deception.
