Of everything that is going on in America, how can so many people create the most asinine type of lies and excuses? It blows my mind the amount of excuses the general public make when they experience utter failure. Admit it, own up to it, and suck it; you failed.

After more than two months of inactivity on his Twitter profile, Murray reappeared to claim the post was made due to a hack. The alleged hacker also must have gotten his or her hands on Murray’s email account, because an email from Murray to gaming site Polygon confirmed that he posted the tweet, but it was removed by someone on the team. The team, the email claims, has not been coping well with the response to No Man’s Sky. The story was later revised to place the blame for the tweet on a “disgruntled employee.”
 
 
The Hello Games Twitter account was briefly set to private following the incident. After claiming the tweet was the result of a hack, Murray said the only mistake was using LinkedIn without two-factor authorization. Whether “hacking” or a rogue employee is the more accurate explanation, things are not going well at Hello Games.

    See? This never would've happened if Murray used private email servers
