Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

HEADHUNTERS USE GRUMPY FOR SNU-SNU!!

I feel like there is some kind of irony when you spend an hour writing a cover letter to apply for an IT job, talking about how much you love working with technology and then you lose it because your Google Drive decided it didn't want to sync properly.

Is that legit?

Not for nothing, Proth, I have no problem giving a company time to work on bringing features that were promised to a game, but there's even a point where my patience runs thin and I get tired of excuses being made with no work being done that can be attested to as evidence the company in question is actually working on the game.

Is that No man Sky thing for real? cause zomg.

The Twitter account for No Man's Sky developer Hello Games was allegedly hacked this morning, including tweets and emails attributed to Hello Games staff calling the studio's latest game "a mistake."

Tweets from Hello Games founder Sean Murray, as well as the Hello Games account have since said the hack has been resolved and that Hello Games has resumed control of its accounts. A report by Kotaku claims that the initial tweet and subsequent statements sent out to several press outlets were indeed part of a hack on the studio. Murray and Hello Games' accounts have since tweeted to also say the hack has been resolved.

At 5:48 a.m. PT/8:48 a.m. ET/1:48 p.m. BST, the Hello Games Twitter account sent out a message saying "No Man's Sky was a mistake." Some followers noted that the tweet was posted via Sean Murray's LinkedIn account. The Hello Games account was shortly then set to private, but has since re-opened to be publicly accessible.

When asked for comment about the initial "mistake" tweet, an alleged representative for Hello Games told Forbes via email that "a disgruntled employee" wrote it and that the studio was "currently trying to sort out the issue." Mashable received the same statement, allegedly from Murray himself, while Polygon received a statement from an email account associated with Murray, saying "The tweet is from me, but somebody from the team took it down ... We have not been coping well."

After these statements were received, tweets appeared on Murray's personal account saying "Server hacked," and that "If anything was a mistake, it was using Linked In without [two-factor authentication]."

Two sources close to No Man's Sky development then confirmed to Kotaku that the initial tweet, as well as subsequent statements sent out to several outlets "were the result of a hack." Kotaku also received an email, which the website believes to be fake, also calling the game "a mistake" and that Murray wanted "to apologize for what we did not deliver on, as the game does not meet up to what our artistic vision was. Two Polygon staff members who, according to the website, had never emailed with Murray directly, received the same email as Kotaku, posted in full on their website.

A final set of tweets between Murray's and Hello Games' accounts state that the alleged hack is now over.

Murray's account tweeted "...Are you still hacked and stuff" to the Hello Games Twitter, which responded "100% not hacked anymore... obviously those mails and that tweet were fake. Back to work."

As of this time, it is not fully clear which tweets or emails have been official statements from Hello Games staff and which have possibly been the result of the supposed hack.

IGN has reached out to Hello Games and Sean Murray to confirm the authenticity of his and the Hello Games' accounts subsequent tweets and will update this story when they respond.

The last tweet from the Hello Games account came on September 23, while Murray's account had been inactive since August 18.

No Man's Sky launched on PS4 on August 9 and on PC on August 12. The game's PC debut was mired in early player-reported issues with the game, after which Hello Games said it was looking to fix the game's "urgent and critical" issues.

The game's player base dropped by 90 percent within two weeks of its release on PC, an investigation was begun by the U.K. Advertising Standards Authority into whether No Man's Sky marketing was misleading.
