The author is the creator of Hypnospace Outlaw. He's an indie game dev, not a representative of a large game company.
Didn't Jay Tholen create Hypnospace? That isn't the author's name unless I'm missing something obvious.
Xalavier Nelson Jr. wrote it, Jay was lead designer.

Gotcha, thanks for the info!
Yes, I know a lot of indie devs are also in this conversation, but their fears are also misplaced. Indie devs already get a free pass on expectations, because more often than not, it's a team of <10 people. So you don't hold them to the same standards as large game companies.
