A developer behind the Ori series recently made a reddit post calling out what he calls “snake oil salesman” in the gaming industry, referencing the likes of Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man’s Sky and how they completely lied and falsely advertised their products leading up to launch.

Honestly he intially was right. Think he was just giving those people their victory trophy to tell their grandchildren about. No mans sky is heliocentri garbage and cyberpunk has pathethic cyberpunk paradigms
I am going to buy Ori 2 just after listening this. XD
Just wait till this developer will make more success. CDPR were also attacking other companies for bad practices, but when investors came in and deadline was approaching, everything went into opposite direction. Unfortunately this is the world we live in…
Congrats on your growth. You are doing great 👍
sure, Ori is a cool game but are we really going to compare a game like that to cyberpunk and no mans sky?
Its like comparing GTA V to mario carts….
Props to the Ori devs for coming out and saying what we've all been for a long time, but I feel like doing this is building up some bad juju. CDPR was just like them; Releasing good stuff then capitalizing on that goodwill and trashing the other big names in the industry before they themselves became part of the pile.
Why did they make him apologize? He’s right! He most likely just did it to appease the mob
Indie devs deserve more respect. Better games deserve to be shown more. Forget these bad big games.
People like you who are still mad about No Man's Sky despite everything that's happened since launch are why developers will never change. Because it doesn't actually matter if they change, you'll still shit on them for it.
Things like this make me think that humans just like to be manipulated and deceived.
Ori was one of my favorites already but now I like it even more.
at least no man's sky had a comeback but it doesn't excuse what they did tho
I'm having Yandere Simulator flashbacks
The dev shouldn't have to apologize for what he said. This has been my take on the trend that we're seeing with the gaming industry for a while. Molyneux was merely the first one who perfected selling what he wasn't making.
If something isn't in the game, don't hype it up like it is the next best thing. If your game isn't complete, don't act like it has gone gold. If the game doesn't even exist yet, don't try to market it before even the dev team knows what they are making (looking at you, Anthem!). This isn't rocket science. This is building false hype.
The real take away from all of this is don't preorder, even from devs that made good games in the past. A preorder is just telling the company that you're giving them a free license to sell you whatever they want even if they promised differently.
Honestly the whole mindset of releasing a broken or incomplete game with the promise of fixing it later is beyond stupid. Name one other job or profession where that crap is encouraged
Ori for smash yo!
I like no mans sky
No, we should NOT allow any company, big or small, to lie to us with over-the-top promises they can't/don't keep; regardless of whether or not they "fix" the games via updates.
Sad that popularity does not exactly mean it is good quality. There are a lot of games that deserve more sales but games like Pokémon Sword and Shield, and Paper Mario The Origami King get more than games that deserve them is ridiculous.
Hopefully, they improve Cyberpunk 2077, like they did with No Man’s Sky
