do not try to claim Blizzard engaged in a level of deception anything similar to the NMS debacle.
the majority of D3 sales occurred more than 7.5 months after the game's release. long after the hype was done. people knew exactly what they were getting... 10s of millions bought the game.
Runic explains why they are not making a Torchlight sequel...
“Let’s admit it, Diablo 3 is killing it right now. Diablo 3 is a really fun game. Not that Torchlight 2 isn’t a fun game, it is, but it’s just different. For us to try to compete with Diablo 3? We weren’t trying to compete before."

personally, D3 and aRPGs bore me. my personal opinion of the game is irrelevant. D3s long term success as a game and as a brand is objective proof of its quality.

I still find it amusing that people thought he might go to jail over this. Jail isn’t really for people who commit deceptive marketing for video games. Even for grand theft latency you are not going to go to jail with no prior criminal record. And that is directly stealing $2,500 + from someone.
as i said earlier , Mattel execs faced jail time if they did not produce their "keyboard component". however, the Intellivision unit cost about $1000 in today's cash and advertising about the "coming soon" keyboard component was all over the packaging of this $1000 system that came with big future promises.
Eventually, Mattel settled with the FTC and the settlement crippled the Mattel Electronics subsidiary to the point that they had to discontinue operations. I'm pretty sure the Anti-NMS crowd is seeking this form of "justice" for Hello Games. But, we're talking about $60 here. As you've noted, a clear and well defined refund option exists.
There was a big celebration after some Sony games exec guy threw Sean Murray under the bus a couple of weeks ago. And then Sony ran the Bus over Murray 4 or 5 more times in the same interview. It is a very shrewd move by Sony... "the people" wanted to exact their pound of flesh and Sony gave the angry mob what they wanted.

While not on the level of NMS they did screw up people royally with their D3 PvP Arena promises (there were videos and stuff about it and it was even featured on the boxes of the pysical copys of the game). It was 90% of the reason why I wanted to buy D3 but thankfully I did not buy it.

Blizzard made huge announcements regarding no PvP at launch 2 months before the game was released. It was all over the place.

Yes, but most people took that as "PvP later" not "PvP never"

yes, and you can buy it when its in the game. years later in retrospect it looks to me like it was a good move to forget about PvP.
it looks to me like josh mosqueira deserves a lot of credit for steering D3 in the right direction ( including abandoning PvP ) and making it a long term success.

I can still access the subreddit and there are new posts, I guess it has been reopened?

The best thing to come out of this game is the steam reviews.

Reddit's workings are a mistery to me. Do all subreddit moderadors have the power to unilaterally nuke their subreddit? Is there someone with a final say, perhaps the person who founded the subreddit or something?

If i understood correctly, the founder of the subreddit closed it even though not all of the moderators agreed to it. Someone from reddit staff said they are talking about this issue because the same thing happened before with one or two other subreddits.
It has reopened now btw

as much as i agree with that reborn article, it reads like it was posted in a bottom tier /b/ or /v/ thread... still pretty crazy that people are so into defending NMS that they'll nuke their own forums to delude people into maybe buying it by not seeing criticism

No Man Sky has broken the lowest rating record on Steam.

its comical the energy people put into hating this game. were this many people fooled by Hello Games and their vague promises? i'm not at all surprised by the quality of the game. i am surprised by the quantity and volume of the negative press it continues to get. I guess Hello Games really fucked over a lot of really hopeful people...

Yet you're one of the most avid posters in this thread.

Osiris seems like it's going to end up being what NMS was supposed to be in a few years...

Personally I am finding it comical how much energy he puts into hating this game and other games. I suppose we all got to have passion for something.

source for this alleged hate?

I noticed that as well. Every game thread I go into, he's in there arguing about something. Don't understand why!
