man i doubt any gaming controvery will ever top no man’s sky

like it had this absolutely massive marketing campaign, had huge backing from sony, sean murray even had televised appearances on american talk shows to show off his revolutionary new game and to talk about features in the game

and then the game came out and it was all fake. everything. every single screenshot, piece of footage, every single promised feature was all a lie. none of that was in the game. 

not even fucking multiplayer. 

they spent so much time in the marketing talking about the multiplayer and how every player was part of an interconnected universe and that, though unlikely due to the sheer size of the universe, players would be able to meet and interact with one-another

and then in less than a week two players “found” each other and it turned out the multiplayer was completely fake. there was no multiplayer. none of it was real. 

and then

everyone involved with the game, at least all of the most publicly recognizable people involved, fucking vanished

and the office hello games was using was abandoned

nobody knows where hello games went or where sean murray is 

a small team of indie developers sold the gaming community a lie, tricked one of the biggest multimedia companies in the world in to backing them, and then vanished 

nothing will ever top that. nothing will ever top hello games exploiting the hype and preorder culture surrounding video games for a profit and then running off with the money. i fucking dare the industry to top that.

Your latest UK politics update

  •  no things haven’t calmed down
  • sharp rise in reported hate crimes post brexit
  • pound sterling has become more unstable than Bitcoin following Brexit lmao
  • Nigel Farage the leader of UKIP stood down saying he ‘Wants his life back’ after campaigning hard for us to leave the EU and getting our country back. He is ranked 747th out of 751 for attendance. UKIPs only MP Douglas Carswell (That’s right, Farage isn’t even an elected MP) subtweeted an emoji with sunglasses in response
  • Boris Johnson ruled himself out of being Prime Minister. That’s right. That dude with the hair who was so pro Brexit bottled it
  • So the Tory party were looking for their new leader and PM which would probably happen in September
  • BUT THIS IS BRITISH POLITICS
  • so we actually have had a leadership contest which lasted about a week and everyone dropped out (Except Michael Gove who no one likes) including Andrea Leadsom this morning who said she was a better bet for PM because she’s a mum and Theresa May is childless
  • Yeah
  • So there was a twitter hashtag and the media went nuts and Andrea couldn’t take it so pulled out
  • So Theresa May is probably???? our new PM??? We’re not even sure
  • Also the Labour Party (You know that coup that was going on?) is gonna have a leadership contest between Jeremy Corbyn and Angela Eagle and maybe others with the possibility of a snap General Election at some point..
  • While all this has being going on the Chilcot report (hella long report which took a long time) basically said that our ex PM Tony Blair got us in to war in Iraq illegally and the guy is gonna get taken to court by families of soldiers that died at the very least
  • we literally need a ‘previously on…’ montage every day in this country

Ok so since this morning

  • Current (but outgoing) PM David Cameron has confirmed he’s leaving asap and Theresa May will be our new PM by Wednesday evening
  • His very short statement ended with him saying ‘Thank you very much’ then turning to walk back to Number Ten saying ‘Doo doo doo doo. Right. Good’

Larry the 10 Downing Street cat will remain in office; his job is secure.
