It's long but if you ever have the time to I'd really watch this video. It's funny and informative. Definitely made me realize hello games were the good guys. Plus their talks at GDC. The just an indie studio making games, unlock the release of cyberpunk, Star Field, and that one game I don't even remember the name from ea cause it was so bad at launch

Thanks, I'll give it a watch.
The Internet Historian is a plagiarizing hack, fyi.
Who'd he plagiarize from and what was it?

And don't skip the ad nine minutes in, it's hilarious.
The TLDR is that the founder is a nervous introverted nerd, so even though it looks like it, he wasn't intentionally lying when he mentioned things that were going to be in the game. Even taking the interviews into account, what really drove the hype train was the price tag and collector's edition.
Yes we all now know that they are "the good guys" because they went back and added a bunch of free stuff to the game. But unfortunately this type of integrity should never be expected in the future, especially from a publicly traded studio who is legally obligated to do what is profitable (which probably means taking the money and running, or adding micro transactions or other things).
A great comeback story, for sure. And I hope their integrity continues. But keep in mind that Blizzard, Rockstar, and even CDProjektRed have all "fallen".
