For some context, Hello Games released No Man’s Sky to widespread criticisms that it was missing many of the features promised by studio founder Sean Murray. However, over the years the game has added a handful of massive updates that have effectively improved public perception to the point that No Man’s Sky is today considered one of thebest open-world gamesout there and recentlytook home a Golden Joystick Awardfor the “Still Playing” category.
It seems to be in that spirit that we have this rather surreal interaction between CDPR and Murray:
It isn’t only Murray that’s worried Hello Games is repeating its mistakes by over-promising.A bunch of No Man’s Sky fans are pleading with Murray not to do exactly that after the developer said Light No Fire would be “the first real open world”- whatever that means.
