Even now, ten years on, even on little ol’ Lemmy, there are many comments about how Hello Games “lied” and the fans didn’t get what they were “promised”. Wild.
Shaun Murray was a young, naive man, who was given a ton of exposure/press and (clearly) zero guidance on how to navigate that. It seems to me, he got completely swept up in all the hype of it all and didn’t have enough experience to manage his own mouth. They clearly wanted to include everything they ended up including but reality rarely works out like that.
All the salty “but he lied” comments seem very unfair to me.
Meanwhile few people say CD Projekt Red “lied” when they released a (clearly unfinished) “finished” version of Cyberpunk 2077. They updated it and everyone moved on praising the DLC.

I mean, they absolutely did at the time. They atoned for their transgression and redeemed themselves several times over though.
