Now Hello Games say they were hacked before No Man's Sky 'mistake' tweet

Confusion has descended upon the Twitter world around No Man’s Sky and the games’ developer Hello Games, when the studio’s official account posted a surprising tweet.

Though quickly deleted the damage had been done – with social media flying into frenzy over whether the studio had been hacked or someone inside the team was having a particularly bad day.

In a quick twist, different sources then began to receive different responses allegedly from inside Hello Games. Polygon reported that it had received an email claiming to be from Sean Murray, the head of the studio, confirming that he in fact had sent the tweet and that the team “have not been coping well” in the wake of heavy criticism of No Man’s Sky.

However, Mashable and Forbes both reported that they had had it confirmed a “disgruntled employee” had posted the message. Confused? Us too.

But, things have now taken another turn, with both Murray and then the Hello Games account now tweeting that their security had been breached.
