No Man's Sky is the greatest game developer redemption story ever. Period.
Other developers who have had a bad launch should look to Hello Games as a shining example of what you should do to recover. NMS, despite it's bad launch, has not only recovered and earned most of its respect back among the players, but it has *continued* to get better and better with constant feedback and interaction from the developers.
I applaud you, HG. And to the consumer -- Yes, get this game.
