Delayed Video Game Leads To Death Threats


Geek culture doesn't seem to have this problem, just saying. I'm a gamer, but don't flip out over delays... or women... or whatever stupid shit gamer's are soiling themselves over.

When No Man's Sky was officially delayed to August last week, many were disappointed. It means we'll have to wait another two months before we can have procedurally generated space adventures, and that's enough to make anyone a little bit upset, including myself. Still, most are capable of accepting that delays can happen, and that it's better to have a delayed game than a broken one.

Some people were still very angry, though. They were so angry that Hello Games received death threats following the announcement. That's not a sensible way to demonstrate one's emotions, but on the internet, where very few things are sensible and nice and polite, it is something that happens scarily often.

"I have received loads of death threats this week," Hello Games' Sean Murray tweeted after last week's announcement. "but don't worry, Hello Games now looks like the house from Home Alone." Cont.
