Maybe not literally (I think that it actually did happen more than once that they outright said something was going to be in the game and it didn’t happen), but there was a whole lot of “we implied this, some rampant speculation started, and we made no effort to quash the rumors because they help drive the hype machine”.

I think it was less on purpose and more symptomatic of having a breathless dreamer as a lead who thinks the world is possible. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but might be a good idea to keep that guy’s interactions with the press pretty rehearsed so you don’t accidentally put your foot in your mouth. The guy who did the Fable franchise (Peter Molyneux) was also notoriously bad about this.

Except Peter's most recent failure, Godus, never got finished and had work stopped on it pretty quickly. I have much less of a problem with breathless dreamers who keep working and find ways to make their dream reality rather than moving on to something else and abandoning their supporters when they get bored.

> they outright said something was going to be in the game and it didn’t happen

Haven't most if not all of those NMS promises been fulfilled?

As someone who played a fair amount NMS and Godus, even at launch NMS was a much better and more interesting game than Godus and it has only improved.
