No Man's Sky PS4 PlayStation 4 1

A timely reminder that, for all of its brilliance, the Internet can also be a bloody awful place: No Man's Sky developer Sean Murray has revealed that he has received "loads of death threats this week" following the minor delay to Hello Games' hotly anticipated space sim. The title was pushed back from 21st June to 9th August this week, meaning that spoiled brats will have to wait just over a month to play the PlayStation 4 console exclusive game. The studio believes that the extra time will result in a better product.

To his credit, Murray tweeted about how the Guildford-based outfit's HQ has been transformed into the house from Home Alone, complete with pillow fortresses and other makeshift traps. "Tell me when it's safe to remove the marbles and oil from the stairs," he tweeted. "It's getting really cumbersome, and I need the toilet." Levity in an awful situation, then – if you're one of those people threatening devs over games that you're excited for, then maybe reconsider what you're doing with your life.
