In an interview with PC Gamer, infamous game developer Peter Molyneux revealed that he visited Sean Murray after his company Hello Games received major backlash after No Man’s Sky was released. Molyneux stated..
It was an incredibly harrowing time for [Murray] and it had been an incredibly harrowing time for me to suddenly realise that the world has flipped and changed from one state to another. Quite obviously with No Man’s Sky and some of my games in the past, people get very, very frustrated that the game isn’t as they imagined or as it had been portrayed to them as they imagined. You can completely understand that in today’s world, you can absolutely understand that, but of course when people get frustrated in today’s world, they can be incredibly vocal about it which creates a tide of what people think.
“For us, for me and Sean and whoever, we, hand on heart, we make these games because we love making games. We make these games because we want people to love making the games that we make. I can assure you that me and Sean and lot of other people I know aren’t in this to steal people’s money away, we’re not in this to be evil; we’re in this to try and make things that entertain people that we can be proud of.”
