No Man’s Sky is such a great example of gamers just creating a narrative and ignoring all contrary evidence. Even if you buy the idea that Hello Games falsely advertised the game in the first year or so that it was being developed and advertised, you could literally watch long previews in the months before launch that showed what the game was going to be. So even if they “lied” in 2013-2015, you really couldn’t claim to be deceived by that in Fall 2016 when you could watch long previews that Spring.
The whole “they promised Destiny style multiplayer” is the worst lie of all. As @thorstein points out, Hello Games was going out of its way two years prior to launch to get people NOT to think of NMS as a multiplayer game. Screenshots of the article he referenced can be read here:

It’s also astounding to me that people assumed that everyone in the entire world was going to be on the same server. That’s like joining a random server in COD while your friend is on the same map on another server, going to the same location, and getting mad at Activision because you didn’t find your friend.
