Shuhei Yoshida, the president of Sony, understands the criticism of No Man’s Sky and its developer Sean Murray.
On the sidelines of the Tokyo Games Show, Eurogamer conducted an interview with Shuhei Yoshida and brought up the topic of “No Man’s Sky.” Yoshida himself enjoyed No Man’s Sky, but understands, why so many criticize the game.
Murray sounded as if he promised more features in the game from day one than actually ended up being there, Yoshida said. That was not a good PR strategy. However, Murray also didn’t have a PR person to help him with that. Ultimately, he is an indie developer.
Videos like this fuel the frustration of fans – Murray promised a lot that was not found in the finished game, especially a multiplayer mode.
Yoshida does not believe that No Man’s Sky casts a bad light on PlayStation due to the many refunds and requests for refunds. He himself is satisfied with the game and impressed by how well No Man’s Sky has sold.
