So you're saying you feel bad for the person who chose to lie in exchange for millions and millions of dollars?

By any chance, are you yourself rich? I can see how that would make it easier to sympathize with someone like Sean Murray. If not, then why would you feel bad for someone who got paid millions and millions of dollars for lying for years? Isn't having a lot of money a good thing?

When one man ships an incomplete game foir $60, he gets crucified by the public.

When EA or Ubisoft ships an incomplete game for $60+, people complain, and buy anyway, waiting for the patch.

Those are some very elaborate strawmen you are constructing there. Is that what you're referring to?

How come whenever someone, like me, reveals a factual, truthful, and well-argued opinion, they are criticized by people like you?

There is a strange, hardcore of people who love No Man's Sky. I don't mean people who like it, I mean people who (literally) brag about buying multiple copies and playing hundreds of hours. Those people do not like the reception the game has gotten, and have failed to integrate the reasons for that reception well with their own extreme enjoyment.
