No Mans Sky is, Still ALive

That's another good point. It's not a lie if it becomes true at a later date because once time compression hits us and all events are squeezed into a single point No Man's Sky will have multiplayer at the same time that Sean Murray told Stephen Colbert it did. You have to account for these sorts of things when developing the intellectual sort of game that NMS is. It's a meta commentary on the universe as a whole, after all.

I would still say it was a lie since he made it sound like it would have it at launch. But it was a lie that was corrected so I will give him leeway with it. The devs really did go all out in making the game that matched the initial promises and then going beyond it.

I'm a firm believer of buying the game if/when you feel satisfied with what you're getting for the price. When it came out it sounds like it was't worth it. WIth all the work they've put into it over the past few years, it might be worth it now if that's the kind of thing you want.

By this point I would say its well worth it if you are into space exploration/survival/building games.

Please, this game was dead on arrival. The rotting, maggot riddled corpse burlesque show Hello Games has been preforming for these last years is both undignified and insulting.
Years after launch and the lies No Man Sky's bloated corpse has finally managed the dizzy heights of 'Not a good game, but at least it works'

Dude, everything you wrote here is wrong. It got the majority of its bad reviews at launch, then after that when it would see a spike of new players the positive reviews would dwarf the negative ones. They also pretty much fulfilled all the initial promises by like major update 2 or 3 or something, right now we are in update 10, they keep adding new neat stuff. Lastly, you can't call something that sold over 6 million copies just on pc dead on arrival.

Yes I can, because the second it arrived everyone hated it. No Man's Sky is a byword for lies and failure in the games industry. That they managed to finally, years after launch get it to a playable state is sad. Hello Games doesn't deserve respect for the hard work they put in to fix their broken product, they deserve scorn for selling a broken product in the first place.
No Man's Sky is not a success/underdog story, its a campfire story told to young developers to scare them into not lying and laughing it off as a quirky developer. To quote from No Man's Sky's own Wikipedia page:
"The video game industry has used No Man's Sky as an example of missteps to avoid in marketing "

Also the numbers at launch sold don't mean anything if Steam had to change their own refund policy to allow customers to get their money back.

It's funny how people seem to hate ineptitude more than malice.
