Enlarge / The apparently hacked tweet that led to so much Internet drama this morning.
Despite what you may have seen tweeted or written, it doesn’t appear that Hello Games founder Sean Murray (or anyone else at the developer) actually admitted that No Man’s Sky was a mistake this morning.
To be sure, the Hello Games Twitter account did send the tweet pictured above, saying directly that “No Man’s Sky was a mistake” just before 9 a.m. Eastern time this morning. The tweet was deleted about 10 minutes after going up, and the Hello Games account was set to “protected” at about the same time.
Many initially assumed the tweet was the result of a hack, especially given the odd posting method via LinkedIn, a platform that has had its own share of security problems. But things started to get confusing when various news outlets reported that someone using an e-mail account associated with Murray attributed the tweet to “a disgruntled employee” and said Hello Games was “currently trying to sort out the issue.”
