When game developers talk about a game in early development they describe the game they intend to do at the time.

There are multiple reasons why things doesn't turn out to be true but people seriously have to learn to separate a lie from something that doesn't turn out to be true.

I am actually greatly surprised that there were as many as one true claims made here, I must have missed that one. I was more referring to the general case rather than the flimsy claims about developers lying made in this thread. So (unless I missed another valid piece of evidence) exactly one case of actual lying.īut yeah, it does help to remember that someone needs to know a statement is false when they made it for it to actually be lying. I have agreed that it was lying in every single case where it was actually lying. Sure I can understand (given that the lion's share of accusations in this thread are complete nonsense) that it might seem indiscriminate. I didn't defend the developer with the clear-cut quote promising 'no change' right before a huge change.I defended all of the developers with FALSE evidence against them (GW2 manifesto, Warhammer vid) These are hype vids, promising nothing concrete that didn't show up in the actual game (unless someone took raining custard and bleeding mice literally).I defended all of the developers with ZERO evidence against them (most lie accusations in this thread).It only seemed indiscriminate because so little valid evidence has been raised in this thread: Being factually wrong is not necessarily lying.

They have to make a definite concrete promise and then that thing has to be proven false."īut I would go one step further they actually need to know that it was false at the time they made the statement. "Basically you can't just pretend developers are lying when you accuse them of lying. Actually you were pretty indiscriminate in your defence of developers, but you made some good points particularly:
