    ITT:

    People throwing shade at the devs who could easily be maxing&relaxing in IT but chose to make art instead, rather than the perverse financial incentives baked into the industry which encourage them to overpromise to secure funding and then underdeliver to abide by publisher demands.

    But maybe I’m in the unreasonable one.

      NMS was not art when they initially made it, and they were not “encouraged” to lie to their customers like some victims. They spun bullshit, delivered a bad product, and are trying to reclaim their reputation.

      They wouldn’t need to rebuild this trust if they sold what they advertised.
