“No Man’s Sky was a mistake.” It’s the kind of misattributed quote you expect to see photoshopped onto a Hello Games tweet. But what happens when the message is verifiably from the official Hello Games Twitter account? Well it must have been hacked, you say, and Sean Murray will be right around to let us know that the whole ordeal is just a poorly protected account.

Alright, now what do you do when Sean Murray writes in to let you know that the tweet was indeed authentic? Well that exact story happened today, someone used the Hello Games Twitter account to write “No Man’s Sky was a mistake” and then followed it up by writing to Polygon under Sean Murray’s email address.

Murray has since pointed to an insecure LinkedIn account, however Mashable is reporting that the culprit is a disgruntled employee.

LinkedIn was hacked earlier this year, leading to speculation that Murray or another employee had committed the terrible no-no of sharing passwords between accounts.

RuneScape Reverses, Apologizes For Bans


Here on the internet, we go by a policy of stuff happens. Unless you are licensing your engine in which case the blame can be placed on the engine creator. And when it comes to big updates like Jagex’s latest bot buster, you could also go by the Texas rule of you can’t make an omelette without accidentally shooting a customer or two. So when Jagex implemented a recent update, the result was a number of players being falsely banned.

Unfortunately, whilst updating our systems, a human error occurred which resulted in the accidental banning of a selection of online accounts. These bans have now been reverted and we will be rebooting the servers shortly to ensure that all accounts can log in as normal.

Some players are still reporting that their accounts have yet to be unbanned due to this mistake.
