Exo-Suit and new Multitool shown on gamestop Pre-order bonus - (link in comments)

don't forget they "promised" things years away from release. They probably wanted to deliver on everything but they couldn't, not necessarily a scam.

No mans sky was picked because it was a complicated and new project. Programming can be naturally hard to timescale because it all the depends on the level of human error.

it is more likely that they did not want this to happen,bugs and problems got in the way, yet we are sold on the story by the media that it is all some big conspiracy to get money.

this idea is further highlighted by the way Sean says just before release "not everything will be possible at release" it is impossible to fix past mistakes but they can make things better for the future, which is now the only option they have.

so i think sean got carried away talking passionately about his game, overestimating their teams ability and just felt too inspired to really crunch things down to the numbers. What really happened was a big mistake, not a scam and i think the whole scam idea is just unlikely.
