>After the active player count for No Man's Sky dropped below 1,000 players on Steam, it's safe to say that the highly anticipated game had a rather rough release. It appears as though things are getting worse for No Man's Sky, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is investigating the game after receiving "several complaints."
>After No Man's Sky released in August for the PlayStation 4 and PC, there were claims from fans of false advertisement perpetuated by the game's creator Sean Murray. False advertisement wasn't the only complaint, there were also bugs that caused quite a few players either refunding the game or simply quit playing.
These cunts deserve it. I requested my refund after 1 hour of playing this monstrosity.
What will happen to Sean if the ASA deems it as false advertising?
Adrian Wright
All Sean had to do to avoid this was not lie through his fucking teeth every time he opened his mouth.
Dominic King
Probably fines.

That's what you get for falling for the hype surrounding this meme game.

>it means those are what out already you know, when you're trying to clarify something it helps to start with a sentence that actually makes some semblance of sense.
Anthony Edwards
The ASA is a self-regulatory industry body. They are only concerned with advertising, as in, adverts published by advertising companies. If they find that certain adverts misrepresent the product being advertised, they stop the adverts. That's about it. There's a bit more nuance, but the basic point is, ASA doesn't give a shit about interviews or tweets or pre-release footage or anything like that, they only give a shit about adverts.
Tyler Hill

Then I see everyone losing their shit about it like a bunch of whiny bitches.
Matthew Fisher
are you still not sure?
Cameron Robinson
both of these are wrong. The ASA does not hand out fines, they simply tell developers that they can no longer use the advertising material that was deemed to be inappropriate, or in extreme cases, will run a counter-advertising campaign against a company.
ASA is not about prosecution, but about minimising the damage caused by the false advertising.

Every interview given had false advertising in it. Also every time they showed the game in advertising interviews it was a version of the game that didn't actually exist and had mechanics and features that are nowhere near being implemented in the actual game.
Oliver Ross

Easton Wright
That's such a HIDEOus assumption user.
Austin Reed
To be honest, some people are somewhat blowing it out of proportion. The shit market oversight agencies usually deal with is legit scammers like the Indians telling old people their computer has a virus; they don't particularly care about the $60 of your monthly autismbux you've spent on a video game that did not live up to your expectations.
But that's completely orthogonal to the issue ASA is pursuing here, they don't care about your expectations from before the launch, they care about the game's advertising as it stands, and all they care about is having it removed, not punishment of the developers.
Justin James
>we live in age where getting screwed out of your money and complaining about it is considered "entitled"

Mason Price
I pirated all the games I've ever owned. I don't even have a job, I live off disability money from a disability I fake, in government housing. I am the ultimate leech. And I am proud of it. Society has never done anything for me, so why should I do anything for them? Society didn't give me a girlfriend. Society didn't stop Kevin from bullying me in school. Fuck them. I think I'm now going to use some of my foodstamps to go buy me a meal that lesser enlightened people would have to work for.
That's what you get, Kevin. That's what fucking happens.
Isaac Collins
Genuinely agree with this sentiment even if it's pasta. That said, I work because I don't like to lie, otherwise I would go for the same deal.
Mason Cox
I ignored all of the advertising and 'hype' (as I do for everything else) and never got burned in the first place. Didn't even pirate this piece of shit. Looks like an even more feature-incomplete version of Spore with better visuals.
I did get plenty of great material from all of the fucking retards who actually fell for this shit though. Lots of funny shit there.

the problem is not the stuff they said before release, it's that they still say it after release when it's evidently not true. You can call people morons all you want, but allowing blatant lies is a bit much.

William Martinez
This is actually really good. If they get in trouble for their lying, then that would make other developers (or rather, publishes, in most cases) understand that they can't make false claims about the content of their game. And consumers will understand that this is possible, and make it more likely to happen to more shitty devs/pubs in the future.
Jeremiah Hall
So why this game? Devs lie about their games all the fucking time why is the ASA starting to care all of sudden. Is it just because it's a smaller group of developers?
Juan Thompson
same shit
Colton Thomas
I think it has to do with the straight up lies and absolutely nothing to back it up that makes this different. And the hype was unreal.
Dylan Baker
no, it's because they have lies on their fucking store page, which other devs don't usually do.
Isaac Richardson
What did people see in this game pre-launch? I knew would be shit the first time I saw it (one of the E3s I don't remember). Their big thing was exploration, but that's fucking boring in vidya (ie hold W and move your mouse around).
Gavin Perry
absolutely, have you seen the mods that came out within the first week of the games release? Some like the low flight mod or the larger and better floral mods feel like they should've been in the base game.
Owen Perez

How did anyone see this during its reveal and actually think it was going to be good? Are the words "SPACE" and "EXPLORATION" enough to sell a game these days?
Christian Jackson
They've always fudged the truth, but I don't think they've ever outright lied about features. Like, they've never said "X will be in our game!" and then keep saying it until the day before it comes out to say it won't be in there. The worst they do is treat it as the second coming, but that can be defended as subjective interpretation of something that is actually there.
Sean just straight up said that something that wasn't in the game was in the game.
Bentley Garcia

I mean the only thing that I can think of that they lied about was the multiplayer. But then again they never showed off multiplayer or even mentioned it in any of the official trailers so it's kinda iffy. I doubt anything major will happen to them anyways

Well the trailers looked good and he did basically lie about features that would be in the game. >that alien there is a 'scientific race' No Sean, they're all the fucking same glorified vending machines.

>Screenshots: >Size of creatures >Behaviour of ships and sentinels >Structures and buildings as pictured >Store Page in general:
>Quality of graphics >References to: lack of loading screens, trade convoys between stars, factions vying over territory
this is not about things they showed pre-release, this is about things they show right now, at this moment, on the store page.
Mason Parker
Southbound.
Jordan Scott
He didn't even imply that you retard.
Daniel Johnson
He really didn't seem angry. It seems like a pretty honest question and a good point of discussion.
I think it has a lot to do with the fact that they're smaller but also scale. Every AAA company has done the same thing as Sean. Issue is that what Sean lied about was absolutely massive. Like, unprecedented amount of lying for a game so widely popular.
Aaron Baker
I did imply that, you retard. Are you sure you're responding to the correct post?
Bentley Watson
>implying that he is also a millennial means he implied he is a bad person You have autism.
Noah Howard
Nah there's fucking loads if you watch the gameplay/commentary videos he did before release. Siding with 'factions' is one of the top of my head.
Isaac Cooper
...
Robert Lopez
you know a lot of those features were probably cut because of the ps4, I mean weren't there mods that fixed the low flight issue and added larger space battles?
Jaxon Hughes
It's called... fuck. Southbound, I think.
It's an anthology film, like VHS. It's not... great? It's not awful or anything, either, just kinda meh. There's something good about every segment, all but one of them has really bad parts, and none of them conclude in a particularly satisfying way. It doesn't tie together well into a cohesive way.
Josiah Sanchez
so what? They're still advertising the game as having these features, when the game does not have them at all.
Caleb Lee
About time if you ask me.
Asher Wood
Google says "southbound" after searching for "flying skeleton monster".
Aaron Gray
The monster actually made me jump when it shot forward. I wasn't really expecting that.

they pretty much willingly did a somersault under it.
I'm not sure who's implying what anymore, let's just drop it
Jace Brown
so it seems to be more of a problem with the ps4 and sony rushing the game rather than them skipping out on features.
Mason Wright
better get some cushions, that pile might dwindle very fast, very soon.
James Lopez
yeah, and ASA isn't blaming them for broken promises of the past, they don't give a shit about that at all. They're blaming them for promises they're still making in their advertising material.
William Cruz
He didn't even imply that you retard.
Jackson Price
He probably didn't know what he was getting into, all he saw was having his games on store shelves and the major boost in advertisements
Eli Perry
So all they really have to do is remove one video, one or two images and redo a few paragraphs. Gee, they'll sure learn their lesson.
Brayden Wood
ASA doesn't have the power to do anything else but badger them.
Look, if you're really upset about it, just start a class-action lawsuit. That's what people do in situations like this.
ASA has the power to pull ads. Sure, ad companies could refuse to comply, but there's no benefit to doing that, since the ASA is the advertising industry.
Xavier Murphy
My theory: since their offices were flooded and the insurance couldn't cover that, they made NMS to get quick bux.
Gabriel White
so that makes them have even less power
Zachary Mitchell
Pulling ads isn't exactly a heavy punishment when the game has already stopped selling copies.
Seriously, class-action lawsuit. This is ripe for exactly that.
Hunter Anderson
oh nah I'm not upset about it, I do think it's wrong that they're using older videos on their release page but I'm not sure I care about it enough to make a bigger deal about it.
From what I heard from friends and my own experience with the game is that it's a neat little title if it was 15 bucks or whatever but people act like this game killed video games for them, like people were going fucking nuts during the launch week.
Caleb Howard
>I blame consoles Games made with consoles in mind typically look better than games made with PC in mind for some reason.
Matthew Scott
Ubisoft always covers their ass by including shit like "alpha gameplay, footage is not indicative of the final product" in all their bullshot trailers
Adam Brooks
Cred Forums still so fucking fixated on this one game that it needs two threads to discuss a the same news story from two different sources. See I knew you'd fuck it up Cred Forums. You might as well be working with the shady publishers at this point
Levi Wilson
ASA has nothing to do with 'punishing' anything, it's a self-regulatory body focussed on the integrity of the advertising industry, the only thing they care about is adverts fairly representing products.
As for a lawsuit, I don't see any grounds for that, would you care to share your reasoning on that point?
Cooper James
>people act like this game killed video games for them
Really? Because the only thing I've ever seen is people being justifiably annoyed about this topic for around 30 minutes at a time, tops.
Look, you can't just say that anyone who disagrees with you is having some sort of meltdown. The game sucked, people are interchangeably annoyed or amused that it sucked, and that's pretty much the whole story.
Levi Myers
...
Jaxon Richardson
Again the sad thing is there is plenty of valid complaints people could still be making about this game but Cred Forums fucks it up with its agenda like approach and just being rock fucking stupid every single time. It's actually quite astonishing in the NMS case.
Parker Rodriguez
>As for a lawsuit, I don't see any grounds for that
The company misled its customers about the product it was selling, which caused the customers harm (paying for a product they didn't actually want to buy).
Class-action lawsuits are pursued all the time for exactly this reason. It's half the reason they exist to begin with.
You really are dense if you can't grasp this. Do you think that companies just lie all the time and get away with it? No, they tend to get sued when they do that, which is why they try to lie as little as possible.
Connor White
>There's something good about every segment, all but one of them has really bad parts, and none of them conclude in a particularly satisfying way. It doesn't tie together well into a cohesive way. This sounds to me like Junji Ito.
Daniel Ramirez
What is Sean thinking right now?
Jack Flores
I don't think that's deserved. It wasn't a good game, but that's the fault of overhyped media
Christian Lewis
Honestly, he isn't that bad. To be fair, I don't know what he said for FO4 but the other games I can't blame him too much. Toddposting is a meme only, it's not real enough.
Now, Peter Molyneux is a true candidate. But I stopped buying after Fable 2 so I might be wrong nowadays.
Adrian Fisher
Well I mean a 12 year old can solve that one. When you have a specific set of specs to work with, you can map out art, physics and engine assets a lot more efficiently and predict what's gonna work and what's not going to work with a title you're making. I mean I'm pretty sure that's a widely known benefit to consoles.
Jacob Butler

Although you do have a point in general, in this specific case, I don't see any grounds for it. Aliens Colonial Marines was a much more egregious case and that class action ended up dismissed.
Zachary Mitchell
Good luck with that and breaking moronic millennial gamers of their Stockholm syndrome like attachment to marketing hype and bitching about it after the fact. If people don't learn their lesson after all the recent high profile misfires of marketing BS then they never will so whatever.
Liam Carter

Jacob Evans
Again, if the ASA decides that's false advertising and pulls the ads, there's no need for a class action. The ASA has nothing to do with a class action suit anyway. If people decide to pursue a class action suit, that's independent of the ASA. And given the way the class action against the Aliens CM went, it seems to be it's baseless.
I agree with you that whatsisface misrepresented the game. For the sake of argument I'll agree the marketing is misleading. But as far as I (and the legal system, apparently) am concerned, that doesn't automatically mean 'class action, guilty!'
Cameron Brown
Because it's a start.
Christopher Wood
>baseless Surely this is bait.
Justin Bell
>class action >europe he actually risks more there than in the USA though, especially if they already spent the money.
Daniel Cox
So sue Sean then. If a car salesman sells you a minivan claiming it has 600hp and you buy it only to discover it does not. Who do you hold accountable? The salesman or the dealership? No one cares about the company, we just want Sean fucking necked.
Jace Lopez
>there's no need for a class action
Pulling ads won't magically put the money people wasted on this game back into their wallets.
The point of the lawsuit is to get that money. Both so that the consumers are compensated for the damages inflicted and so that the company is punished for inflicting them in the first place.
Benjamin Myers
>Who do you hold accountable? The salesman or the dealership?
The dealership, retard. They're the ones employing the conman. You go after the dealership so that they'll fire their shitty employee and not hire any shitty employees in the future.
It's the dealership's responsibility to make sure they aren't hiring thieving motherfuckers.
Jesus christ, has Cred Forums literally ever left their house? You people have no idea how the world actually works.
Jeremiah Flores
>I've seen kids weaned off minecraft lose themselves
Nathaniel Cooper
Given the ACM class action, any potential NMS class action is probably baseless. I agree it was hyped in a misleading fashion, but that's not the same as having a valid class action.
Sean wasn't selling anything. I agree he was a de facto marketer, of course, but in legal terms he's not a marketer, and in legal terms there's absolutely no basis for suing him. If there was, then almost every developer would get sued, from Romero to Molyneux. A class action would apply to HG and Sony, not Sean personally.
>we just want Sean fucking necked. Well that's fair enough but don't expect the law to be your tool, it doesn't work that way. Do it yourself or contact the mafia or something.
>Pulling ads won't magically put the money people wasted on this game back into their wallets. So?
>The point of the lawsuit is to get that money. What lawsuit? Right now there is no lawsuit. And people are talking about a potential class action, fair enough, that may or may not happen, but given the history of class actions, even that wouldn't put any money back in anyone's pockets.
Liam Richardson
That's my point fuckface. If Sean made deliberate lies as the face of the company then of course theres a case and it isn't baseless at all. Fuckwit.

Doesn't that make the ASA entirely useless ? The game's already out, the majority of sales (and refunds) have already passed. They have no use for the false advertising material anymore. Preventing them to use it does almost nothing.
Henry Lopez
I already addressed the idea of starting a lawsuit in the post you replied to.
Not within ASA's remit.
I get you guys are pissed off with all the bullshit fagface spewed leading up to NMS' release. I am not defending shithead or NMS or SONY or HG. They are all cunts. I am just pointing out that the 'justice' you want from a class action is almost definitely futile.

So, let's say they get hello games for false advertisement. What happens next?

Lincoln Young
Give it up you guys. He's already gotten away with millions and never has to work a day in his life. You'll never get the "justice" you're looking for and he won't care how much people on the internet shit on him because he's too busy counting all the money he swindled from you idiots. This will all be forgotten in a year anyways and HelloGames will just rebrand or leave for other studios without anyone noticing.

I never said 'we' shouldn't start a lawsuit. I only pointed out that given the nature of class action suits, in this scenario a class action has little chance of success.
I would also add, trying to attack HG/SONY with a class action would be a petty meaningless battle. Again, I get that people are pissed off (I'm not pissed off because I don't pay attention to marketing, because I'm not a fucking retard) but 'being pissed off' isn't enough to justify a law suit. And given that the ASA has started to investigate NMS marketing, that should be the trigger point for any potential suit, rather than a bunch of faggots crying about a shitty game.

I hope the rest will follow: Ubisoft, EA, Actiblizz, Konami...
But let's tackle the Star Citizen case first.
Dylan Jackson
Star Citizen has to be released or at least stop updating for it to be called out
Gabriel Bennett
They missed like a dozen milestones already, and the game should be finished by now according to the original planning.
Alexander Phillips
You say it like they were some kind of banking multinational tied with colombian narcos and the russian mafia. Jesus Christ dude ubisoft is a small fry for the judicial system of any fist world country, nobody gives two flying fucks about this guys being big fish in the videogame wold.
Angel Lewis

Brandon Anderson
There are people, on this board, right now, who were hyped for Spore 2.
And not just any Spore 2, a Spore 2 made by indie devs with even less resources and funding than EA, whose only game development experience had been making shovelware.

Video games are worth more than Hollywood.

I wish they never gave anybody refunds because if you were stupid enough to not be able to tell how much of a huge piece of shit this was going to be, you deserve to lose your money.

Levi Hernandez

Levi Jenkins
dude, how can you say people are blowing thus out of proportion, the guy lied like. charlatan, he literally told people his team reworked the periodic table if elements and had real simulated movement of celestial bodies/physics. none of this was true. there was no simulation, no advanced technology or science in the game , just a bunch of uninspired, rushed shit.
Ian Clark
I just ordered a Tali'Zorah statue for $60.
Samuel Green
I like the statue/model idea.
I'd get a United 757 1:200 scale; they're $65 on amazon including one day shipping. Something I could enjoy for years.
Jordan Perez
what is this new meme
Levi Kelly
no, don't fall for it.
i punched the final boss out cold like i did everyone else and the game just ENDS.
Ryder Long

Parker Wright

Don't worry; I wasn't about to fall for it.
I plan to enjoy my spare $60.

Imagine how sweaty Molyneux must be right now, reading about this.
Noah Bailey
Nothing will happen and he will continue to get away with it because the retards who care about shitty, dreadful "games" like this are passive aggressive, lazy pussies who will expect everyone ELSE to sue him for them, and no one will end up doing anything because of that.
Investigate all they want, nothing will happen.
Angel Price
Seems pretty biased since no one has looked into MK X lies or KF2 Lies and they were more than just meme magic
