After Announcing Delay, No Man's Sky Dev Gets Death Threats

@luert: Yeah, well certain individuals from companies will sometimes bring it up in interviews.

@flames325: You still pushing that meme, Xbox loser? That incident predates the existence of ROTTR, and had nothing to do with the games at all. http://www.upi.com/Entertainment_News/2013/11/16/Tomb-Raider-video-game-actress-receives-death-threats/13401384625812/

Only embarrassment here is your constant shilling for a brand that's long since irrelevant.

@flames325: And Xbox fanboys don't send death threats? Hah, a quick google search will prove you wrong...the real cancer are people like you, 7tizz, PortalJumper93, etc. who generalizes and says this kind of pathetic stuff. Please get banned already.

@flames325: The only sad thing here is your generalization and the real cancer are fanboys like yourself.

Talk about embarrassment...lol

@flames325: I would argue that this is what you get when you deal with fanboys in general. Mario v Sonic, PS v XBOX, Star Wars v Star Trek, Liverpool v United. We ask for decades when will the extreme/polarized elements among any fan group go away, when the simple solution is to ignore them. If we ignore them they have no platform, if they have no platform they're just angry folk ranting at each other. Of course that's easier said than done, especially when death threats are involved.

The comments sections of almost every gaming site are plagued with the troll toxicity of fanboys crusading (unasked) on behalf of one platform or another. Meanwhile the rest of us, as you say, look on embarrassed and wonder if folk outside of gamer culture see us all as toxic trolls issuing death threats over social media because a game was delayed so it could be completed to a standard we deserve.

But pointing at one group in particular and blaming them just puts fuel on the fire, especially when the game is releasing on two platforms. And letting the PS platform die when the majority of people in the PlayStation community are just as awesome as the majority of the people in the XBOX and PC communities is definitely over-kill.

I play on XBOX, PC, and PS. I've only ever encountered racism once, during a Halo 3 match years ago. Two dumbasses gave me hassle during the game because of my accent, then sent a few abusive and violent messages afterwards. I blocked them without replying and played the next game. And the thing is, I'm sure that they weren't even really racist. Just dumb kids amusing themselves.

Anyway, my long winded point is just ignore the lame trolls and the angry fanboys when you can. You'll be happier. But deaths threats are never casual unfortunately. Regarding them I have no tolerance.

@flames325: It has nothing to do with "PlayStation Fanboys," and everything to do with a fringe group of the gaming community as a whole. Get your head out of your rear end and stop showing your bias.

@HBM: Because games are released on Fridays in the UK and Tuesdays in the US.

@DragonessAthena: Where have you been where everyone is "fine and happy" over the MN9 delays? Seriously, everytime the game is even mentioned anymore all anyone posts is about how they wish they had never funded it and/or how Inafune is a crook. Sure, it ain't death threats, but that's hardly what I'd call people being "fine and happy" over it.

@DragonessAthena: It's not that people are fine with it. It's mostly that we knew it was going to be a Charlie Foxtrot and went in expecting this BS.

@dyshonest: Because one day, when a threat gets carried out and someone gets seriously harmed, or worse, killed... we'll all be wondering why no one took them seriously.

@darthrevenx: Not even a few months. From late June to early August, it's only a month and a couple weeks.

@kaliskonig: I don't see how making a joke about their studio looking like the Home Alone house is making a big deal out of it..

@kaliskonig: They had to delay the game, how are they supposed to "combat" a death threat for delaying a game?.. And you're wrong, no one gets their life threatened for having to delay something. People don't throw tantrums and pull a gun on someone because they have to wait another 2 minutes for a coffee (I hope I'm right but somehow I wouldn't be surprised if someone has...).

@kaliskonig: It kind of IS a big deal. If it wasn't a big deal, then they wouldn't have worked on it for as long as they did. They spend a lot of money to make this ya' know. Aren't you the same group of fake fans that are sad, when thousands lose their jobs, due to an EA takeover, shut-down, etc. I also don't think you would be able to know how to combat thousands of determined people in harassing and making death threats on you're life. Is there a strategy guide for that?!

Don't know why "fans" seem to love you one minute, & then stab you in the back the second that plans change from what they demand. God forbid rabid, psychotic foaming at the mouth "fans" don't get some great game, the nano-second it's released. Oh and I love this part...god forbid it's released too early...lol MORE death threats! WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT?!?!?!?!?!? LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!

@fijimeister: The US always releases new AAA games on Tuesdays, while the UK usually does them Friday. Don't know why for either, but honestly Friday is a better time to release games.

@PortalJumper93: you mean the game on PC as well? Or is it not also on PC when it suits you? Or maybe you sent it because you're still annoyed you can't get on the hype train. Start a petition.

Yea, Xbox players sure are angels in the community...moron.

@PortalJumper93: Funniest thing I've read all day. Considering the sheer volume of toxicity I've heard over XBL, either you're naive, stupid, willfully ignorant or a troll.

@PortalJumper93: Please don't say that, Xbox players will issue death threats over trivial things just as much as any other players on PS or PC. All major gaming platforms have toxic parts in their communities.

@PortalJumper93: Your picture says Playstation but comment says Xbox. You my good sir is what the gaming community needs more of, none of this fanboyism

@hacker_fc: You do understand this game is also on PC right? soo why blame Sony "fanboys" for the death threats *sigh*
