For those who missed it, the Reddit thread detailing the "expectations gap" on launch: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/4y1h9i/wheres_the_no...

It seems like Murray's argument is that misleading customers before the initial release is justified because the sales money allowed them to finish the game after launch. It's commendable that they didn't abandon the game afterward, but that doesn't really excuse/correct/justify the deception--which continued even post-launch. It's really unfortunate that Murray / HG get the "underdog" narrative when what they really did was a bait and switch.
