After the mixed release of No Man’s Sky, Hello Games didn’t just bury its head in the sand, instead the studio really hit the ground running and constantly delivered new free content. But now the fans seem to have the channel full.
Ultimately, nothing really went wrong with the release of No Man’s Sky; instead, Sean Murray’s promises in advance caused dissatisfaction. The CEO of Hello Games took on the role of spokesman and made statements in interviews that had nothing to do with the final product.

After the failed release, the team sat down and pushed out one update after another for No Man’s Sky. The studio delivered a whopping 27 small and large patches that expand the space game with new content, features and functions – each of them completely free. Just recently, the “Orbital” update added procedurally generated space stations and a ship editor, for example.
Actually a great thing, but now the fans are fed up. At least a posting on Twitter (or X) is well received. In this one user writes: “Sean, please stop, rest, your game is good, we forgave you 10 updates ago.”
Of course, this news should be seen with a certain amount of tongue in cheek, but in the comments, tons of No Man’s Sky fans agree with the author, Alejandro Argandona.
Of course they have nothing against new content, but they would like to show their monetary gratitude to the studio. Even the otherwise frowned upon microtransactions are mentioned as an option.
Hello Games could certainly use the money, as the studio is currently working on another game, Light No Fire. This also relies on random generation, but instead of a complete universe, only a single planet is created.
The trailer introduces the brand new Orbital update for the long-running hit No Man’s Sky.
