Also to be fair (and critical), while Sean lied to both Sony and us about the state of the game-

They also probably did have most of everything they promised at one point, then the Christmas Flood happened. That's when the lies started and but those lies were likely more for Sony rather than us, as it's entirely possible Sony would have outright cancelled the game if they'd known how much was actually lost in the flood.

Instead they released what they could in the time they had left then just kept plugging away at it post release.
