No Man's Sky was a mistake: Reddit reacts after Hello Games FINALLY breaks silence
NO MAN'S SKY creator Sean Murray finally breaks his silence, but Reddit users want to know why it took a Twitter hack for Hello Games to come out of hibernation.
Reddit responds to the No Man's Sky Twitter hack
No Man's Sky developer Hello Games caused controversy on Reddit yesterday, after a "disgruntled employee" hacked its Twitter account and said the game was a mistake.
Sean Murray was then alleged to have contacted various media outlets to say that the team had not been coping well since the launch of No Man's Sky in August.
Hello Games co-founder Sean Murray would then confirm the Twitter hacks in a follow up tweet, joking that the only mistake was not using two factor authentication to protect his accounts.
Reddit users have reacted to the Twitter controversy in their droves. Some users are frustrated that Hello Games only broke its silence because of a hacker, while others are annoyed that the studio made light of the situation, without addressing the state of the game.
"Really infuriating for them to go silent on us for months and only a hack gets them talking again," one Reddit user writes.
Things have gotten pretty bad for No Man's Sky since launch, as Steam users have declined and reviews have been poor.
Two No Man's Sky players did meet up within the game's first week, but despite landing on the same planet and finding the same settlement, they were unable to actually see each other.
Hello Games co-founder would later clarify that No Man's Sky wasn't a multiplayer game, but was full of shared experiences.

Sean Murray's Hello Games studio is also being investigated by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
Several customers are said to have complained to the ASA about the promotional material for the PS4 and PC game.
The No Man's Sky Steam Store page has come under fire for using screenshots that aren't representative of the final release.
