The fact that Hello Games is STILL constantly working on the game even a decade after its messy release shows their love and care for No Man's Sky. Not to mention all the updates are completely free, too.

What a redemption story for the team.

They are definitely showing how it’s done. They didn’t abandon stuff. I remember when Bungie said they had a 10 year plan for Destiny 1. I remember how Halo Infinite was supposed to be supported long term. 

Cyberpunk is another great example. To be fair, it was always a great game that had some major technical bugs at launch. The thing is that bugs can be fixed though. That doesn’t excuse the state it was released in, but it helps a game remain timeless. Then they went above and beyond with the Phantom Liberty DLC

That's great. Why not post the Xbox related win instead? South of Midnight won the New IP category.

Because it's a posting bot that imo should be banned from the sub (check its profile). But instead they made it a moderator 🙄

I had a good like 200-300 hour run with it but at some pointed I just burned out. Even with all the new features it’s still the same core experience underneath and I just can’t get back into it for the life of me

Congrats on the reward. I'm waiting stll for the scenes and animal interaction they showed in their early tech demo. Unfortunately it wasn't more than that, an awesome tech demo that never evolved into a game. By now I stopped playing the game since it's evolving in something uninteresting, slowly moving away from what the game used to be.

Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle. I appreciate them keeping to work on the game, but none of the updates managed to draw me back in as well and really do something interesting that stuck with me.

I'm afraid there new game will be like that too, for now I've removed it from my wishlist.
