I’m not sure I understand the comic. did something happen?
My presumption is that due to the original rocky start, the dude feels responsible and keeps churning out free updates instead of asking money for it as DLCs.
I think they are using NMS as a platform to try out new tech, too, for other games. All of the “recent” ship building stuff where you can basically take your carrier down to a planet was mentioned as being this
rocky start is an understatement. They straight-up lied about the game.
I think I got what I was expecting at launch. I also knew the only reason it wasn’t a $20-$30 game was the hype, which is what it was worth at launch. I think there was some misleading, like seeing other players was supposed to be possible and wasn’t until a much later update. But it was mainly the hype blew expectations out of proportion.
I think this is overlooking quite a lot of direct lies that they told.
This wasn’t as simple as “they said it would happen one day”. They were saying repeatedly how it would be at launch, and those blatant lies tainted this game permanently for a lot of us.
Even now after it’s alleged to be a lot better, I can’t bring myself to even reinstall the game. Half because I’m still angry it happened to begin with, and half from embarrassment of feeling scammed
I created a Dumpster Fire category in my steam library for this game, and it’ll likely stay there forever
I think… murray could release pong as his next product, and millions would buy it because ten years from now, it’s gonna be hyperpong procedurally generated flippers multiplayer quantuum balls and millions of customizable pinboards.
