  "Creating games is an incredibly challenging endeavor" Did they think the game was going to make itself?💀

  I like how they spent 5 years developing the game but only when they release it do they realise it’s not financially possible anymore lmao

  Makes you really appreciate how Hello Games handled the disastrous launch of No Man's Sky. They made a fat bag from that game and could've taken the money and run. But instead, they went radio silent, buckled in, and made the game an absolute banger -- everything it promised, and so much more. Obviously it'd be so much more preferable if it was like that at launch, but at least they showed integrity and an actual desire to make a game and not just a quick buck.

  It's important to remember not just the name of the failed studio Fntastic, but the names of the people who conducted the failures. Eduard and Aisen Gotovtsev are the founders of Fntastic, and it would be a disservice to all if public knowledge forgot that a company is run by people.

  The craziest thing is that they actually charged money to play the game. I was expecting it to be free to play considering it had no actual direction.

  "Please do not underestimate our work." Brother, we overestimated it. I thought it would at least outlive a carton of unrefrigerated milk.

  Dude I feel like someone with no game development experience could with 5 years of actual hard work learn to make a game much better than this one! 😂

  Hearing this makes me appreciate the no mans sky devs more, we thought they were a scam for not having the features they mentioned in their interview but they kept their promises in the end.

  It blows my mind how companies think they can just delete/private everything and pretend like nothing ever happened, this has never worked, ever.

  This game was meant to show you what a video game would look like if it was made in a post-apocalyptic environment.

  Damn. I respected Sean Murray a lot more now. Kudos to him and Hello Games for enduring lots of criticism and being able to flourish.
