he didnt initially lie about multiplayer. go back to all the videos. everyone kept pushing for it. and he kept telling people what his idea for the game was, which was you're basically alone out there in space exploring. that was never enough for the people interviewing him. so they would continue to ask and push multiplayer. so then he started talking about multiplayer-esk things they could do in the game. but he made it clear that was not the point of the game at all. which would tell anyone listening. DO NOT LOOK FOR MULTIPLAYER at launch. But he also did say that was the way HE wanted to create the game but that he would listen to the community on the kind of stuff they wanted Post launch. and thats exactly what he did. They asked and hello delivered.
The only thing that made it seem like he embellished or lied was when they would show those clips of the game on that planet with the red flora all around and the two dinosaur looking creatures would pop out(rhino looking one and one larger one or two of them). But the truth was, those planets always existed. most of those types of planets were always closer to the center of the universe and most people never made it there. some did. but most didnt. people took that clip and imagined that was the entire game when it wasnt.
they really fixed this game up to perfection. This is what Elite Dangerous should have been on the real. I played some Lo-Fi tunes while I was gathering resources. Sensational
. The company really turn that meme into a work of art
