Sony’s Shahid Ahmad calls gamers who want No Man’s Sky refunds thieves

by

A former Sony employee by the name of Shahid Kamal Ahmad who worked as a content director made some controversial comments about No Man’s Sky and the people who ask for refunds recently. He still has strong ties to Sony and is known for his odd comments about resolution differences and much more. There’s no doubt that the developers and Sony used misleading marketing tactics to advertise features that were absent from the final game. They even covered it up by modifying the packaging with stickers. When you go to these lengths to cover features and pretend they never existed in the first place, what do you expect? Of course many people will be angry because they were expecting an Elite: Dangerous-like experience. This has resulted in players asking for refunds for the game.

If you’re getting a refund after playing a game for 50 hours you’re a thief.

Sony and other stores that sell No Man’s Sky are giving players refunds despite that fact that they’ve played for dozens of hours. Even they know the game isn’t what was advertised and it’s best to appease players than bring on legal trouble. However, Shahid Ahmad had some choice words for those asking for refunds. He said that those who request a refund of the game after playing it for an extended time are thieves. Ahmad said that even if the player didn’t enjoy their time with the game, they don’t have the right to request a refund. I believe this is beyond ridiculous. No Man’s Sky is not what was advertised and only by playing for an extended period do you realize that. I can’t believe that Ahmad has the audacity to call people who spend their money on a falsely-advertised game thieves. His former employers and friends at Hello Games should’ve been honest, they’re the real thieves in this case.
