Hello Games studio head Sean Murray tweeted this morning that the studio’s space exploration game No Man’s Sky was “a mistake.” The tweet was later deleted and the studio’s account set to private. No further tweets or explanation has been forthcoming.
Reached for comment Friday morning, a person responding to Murray’s email account and identifying himself as Sean said that he sent the tweet.
“The tweet is from me, but somebody from the team took it down,” he wrote in the email. “We have not been coping well.”
Murray hasn’t responded to follow up emails and his formerly active personal Twitter account hasn’t been used since Aug. 18.
