      Too bad the game itself is only mediocre at best, and a horrible cash grab with super-aggressive pushing for micro-transactions. Wouldn't recommend. A lot of assets and backgrounds look like they were "inspired by" (read:stolen) from Diablo 3.

    - pet companions that can be reproduced, traded and genetically modified; you can also ride and fly them
    - expeditions, minicampaigns with exclusive rewards
    - three new classes of ships (alien, solar and sentinel)
    - three new multitools (royal, sentinel rifle and sentinel pistol)
    - more Sentinel lore
    - pirate lore: outlaw stations, smuggled goods etc
    - revamped freighter construction (better graphics and mechanics)
    - lots of improvements in graphics, UI, etc
    Bunch of more stuff! And all for free!

    Actually, Sean's reaction - to treat all the complaints and bitching and whining as data - is pure fucking genius.
    Genuinely genius. Because, like, who the hell does that? No-one else even thinks that.
    But it's a next level strategy.
    As that one episode of Star Trek had it, "turn disadvantage into advantage" - every complaint becomes a data point on a graph that charts how to turn it all around.
    He kept listening to the audience, even when they were freaking out and sending him death threats. He still kept listening.
    And channelled out of it exactly what people were expecting, extracted a plan out of it and then implemented that plan perfectly. Suppressing his own ego to a level that would make even a Vulcan jealous.
    He deserves a fucking award for that alone, frankly.
    It's really fucking hard and it's really fucking clever. That Chess move is god tier, basically.

      I really think it was moreso they just needed to beat the living shit out of Sean to get him to stop promising things they clearly could not deliver. The issue with No Man's Sky was not that it was a bad game. It was just the Sean promised too much and made the stupid braindead public with no critical thinking skills go nuts. This is not to excuse the end product, but honestly, No Man's Sky was about on-par with most AAA garbage in recent years and people just had far too high of expectations. Sean was the major reason for that. THANKFULLY, I am guessing they removed his voice box because following release, Sean basically said NOTHING for years until the game was patched into a decent game.

      I mean even EA... *Eviltronics fArts* itself, was able to redeem themselves a little bit last year by allowing Respawn to publish a good Star Wars single player game with zero BS attached to it. No loot boxes, no overpriced DLC, no nothing. Just... a good game, that you can finish within about 10-15 hours. For 60$. There you go. And I was convinced that company would just eventually implode under the weight of its own greed and die, that nothing good could ever again come out of their damp putrid entrails, and they proved me wrong! If EA can do it, everyone can. Looking at you.... Bethesda. I'm still holding on to sliver of hope that Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield might be good, if not excellent games. You've always been pretty lazy with polishing out bugs, but Skyrim was an amazing foundation upon which you used to allow everyone to develop mods (including fixes for the aforementioned bugs) that made it into one of the best games of the decade! If we could just pull back to pre-Horse Armor Bethesda, that would be awesome!

They deserve all the praise and go up there with Larian as the most beloved studios of real people with integrity and a shining beacon of light for gaming as a whole, not operating on greed but rather on good will and a true love for their craft.

    The story of Sean is one of the most inspiring and humbling story’s I’ve ever heard. I’m not a game developer, but I did screw up in a relationship, and was demonized for my mistakes for a year now, however, just like Sean, I didn’t reach out to the one who left me, I didn’t bug them, all I did and am still doing is working on myself, and I’ve gained much more happiness than the depression I was in for the first couple months of my breakup. My point is that if someone like Sean, who disappointed everyone, can pick himself back up and reach success, anyone can do it, anyone can change and be the best version of themselves, it just takes time, and self love.

    I've watched this video several times over the years, primarily because your comedy is timeless and never gets old. But also because I love how you go about this story, it's so well done and absolutely 💯 % correct. Fortunately as write this. Sean Murray and hello games/no man's sky have been not only completely redeemed but been a shining example of what every game developer SHOULD do when, despite best efforts or intentions, release an unfinished game. Like fall out 76 for example. Unfortunately, this story is the exception to the rule. The only reason it's a redemption story is because the entire team genuinely cares for its creation and despite how it was realized. They took the beatings like a world champ, made no promises, in fact they said nothing and just began DELIVERING. Actions speak louder than words has never rang so true. In fact everytime this happens nowadays and we get promised a shiny AAA game but get a shiny turd instead, after they've excepted our money, what do they do? They apologize but promise to fix everything in future updates, or "seasons" but then charge you for it....ugh...nvm....I love this story and I love how you portray Sean, I wish he could see this video.

    Theyre pretty smart financially just by working on the game as well. Because it's still a huge game that people wanted to succeed. A Universe to explore? Procedurally generated worlds? Space flight? At the time, there was no other game like it, and there still isn't not even Starfield has what No Man's Sky has. Just by working on the game, not only did they make the game better, but it also helped them spread again like wildfire. You could say the initial release date of No Man's Sky had two of them. The first release date was when the game came out, and the second release date when the game was completely overhauled with features and bugfixes. Everyone swarmed in and hopped on that No Man's Sky train the moment they overhauled the game.

      Disappointing your father. A crushing feeling.
      Disappointing millions of customers. A statistic. (pun intended, he used the stats)

      Kinda unrelated but apparently Lego SW TCS is on the Google play store now, discovered it today. No idea if it's on the app store or not but it's cool

    I started almost a month ago, and now i have over 485 hours.
    This is the best game i have ever played. No other game(maybe minecraft and terraria) had me playing this much!
    Now, compared to those times(2016) I cant imagine what it would be like if No mans sky would be like this, how it is now, in 2016!
    But maybe this game needed to be blasted and bad from the start. Because HELLO GAMES proved us that they really mean it, what they wanted and have planned. EA, ACTIVISION...LEARN FROM HELLO GAMES. KEEP PROMISES AND CARE ABOUT AUDIENCE.
    Sorry...sentiment in action. This game is really cool!

      There is nothing to be proud of in spending so much time on a game.

    I remember in the UK; that no matter how much drama their was over the negative reception of this game, CEX were still selling second-hand copies for like £40

      Sure the universe has killed everyone to challenge it so far but if you win the fight you become God.
      That is to great an opportunity to pass up. Man will prevail.
