We're nearly 2 days removed from "Sky-Gate" in which two players in No Man's Sky were unable to find each other after appearing in the exact same location. Now the drama heightens in the third day as a 4Chan user noticed something unusual on his physical copy of the game...
Here's a closer look...
This, of course, continues to support the theory that Hello Games lied about the game having online play. As of posting, it's been about 24 hours since Sean Murray first talked about the issue on Twitter. For those who missed it Murray essentially addressed the issue while saying nothing about the actual problem, if it was a glitch, or if the team was looking into it.
While this could just be some 4 Chan prank meant to ruffle feathers, it's more likely that this is a misprint on the box that was deemed too expensive to go back and change. At this point, I just want Hello Games to man up and take responsibility. Either say "no we never said you could do this," or "yes we did and you can't we're sorry" or "wow we thought that worked and it didn't we'll fix that immediately". SAY SOMETHING! It's only making the situation worse the longer you wait!
