[The winner of this award was No Man's Sky]
[Voiced by John C]
Five years ago, No Man’s Sky came out on a hype train riding through the stars. Unfortunately it very quickly crashed face first into the first celestial body in its path. Lambasted by /v/ and Reddit alike, it was as if the entire collective internet came together to laugh at this game and how horrendously it failed to deliver on its promises.
But now? It’s honestly not a stretch to say it’s become one of the best bang-for-your-buck games on the market. With consistent free contеnt patches bringing new expеriences and swathes of bugfixes, the game has managed to gather an extremely dedicated following that can actually play together finally.
It’s pretty clear after everything was said and done that Sean Murray wasn’t a lord of lies like Todd, he was just a guy who got a bit in over his head when talking to press, and didn’t stop to double-check whether his promises were feasible. But props to Hello Games, they took the criticism like champs, buckled down, and decided to set things right.
And honestly? Right now that’s a very welcome change of pace. Let it live on as a sign to devs that they don’t need to just pump and dump games. Spend some time focusing on the wrongs and rights, and reward your community for their dedication, and in the end, it’ll come out alright.
And now /v/, apologize.
