Is it really redeeming to spend so many years and resources on a game that still isn't very good at all. They've basically spent two full development cycles on one mediocre game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I definitely think so (plus I think it's a great game now, even though it was hot garbage at launch). The continuing updates are 100% a labor of love at this point, I'm sure they still sell more copies each update, but not enough to justify the cost if they weren't wanting to work on it. I love me a good labor of love game.

They've also been working on Light No Fire for ~6 years at this point so they've been doing more than just making new content for NMS this whole time

I just love that they used developments from LNF as an update for NMS. Like, they had no reason to do that other than being bros.

Sounds like it's just not for you. Because I think it's an incredible game and has been my go-to since the second update. It's okay to not like something.
