No Man’s Sky is a great game. This is an opinion which month ago would cause huge backlash, and multitude of angry people explaining why I am “objectively” wrong. Yet, it seems that this all changed with No Man’s Sky newest update simple titled NEXT. Why is that though? Is No Man’s Sky NEXT really that good? Or is the Xbox One crowd just a more fitted player base? Well… not really.
By putting Black Ops 6 on Game Pass, Microsoft plans to gauge its growth, pricing, and monetization changes, at the cost of less game sales.
If they have follow up games that are bangers, then this strategy will work. But if it’s Call of Duty followed another dead period then it won’t last.
When the game does not hit 1 Billion in revenue in under two weeks they will wonder why and the next thing you know; Season Updates will no longer be free.
subscribers go up, execs celebrate win, get bonus, price goes up, subscribers go down,
execs dont care, got their bonus,
If it works CEOs and shareholders get a payday and if it doesn't even more studios get closed by MS so CEOs and shareholders get a payday.
It will sell on PC & PS but as long as COD is for rent on Gamepass it will not sell well on the XB platform. Most folks such as myself that like COD just for the campaign would rather rent it for that month instead of paying $70 plus tax for the game.
Behaviour Interactive is facing redundancies, with almost 100 people affected, mostly affected in Montreal.

Stuff like this looks like alot of work was done but so few sales this is what no doubt is causing all the layoffs.

Just back to back waves of layoffs.
Finally, the Vietnamese government has officially responded to Steam being blocked in the country.
VPN to buy games, fuck that if it's allowed or not, or just use a VPN and torrent what you can.
If the game is crap then yes there will always be negative feedback it comes with the territory. It's called word of mouth or welcome to the internet. Where the truth about a game comes out really fast whether the game is good or crap. If you can't handle the criticism because of a game then why publish the game. Why should people who never criticized or even played the game be punished? Vietnam has some really screwed up laws block Steam because they don't answer us rule. And going on a witch hunt with Steam please. Where's the proof, where's the evidence of this witch hunt. Somebody is butt hurt and has a Vietnamese Karen leading the witch hunt.
"No Man’s Sky is a great game"
No Mans Sky was a crap game which became an barely average game.
What's with sudden arse licking of No Mans Sky, people are trying to make out it's better then it actually is. Do people think way back when it first released and it had the uproar many people pulled criticism from their ass and everything was baseless or something? People had legit criticisms of the game...it was disappointing, underwhelming and boring.
NMS was never a bad game at all. It was over promised and then underdelivered. I am glad to see the team working heard to try and make amends and bring this title to more people the way it was advertised. I had a ton of fun popping in adn playing a bit, then popping out. I'll jump back into NEXT to see whats new. I am close to the platinum, but they changed the criteria for animal/creature exploration trophies and that made things much harder to achieve. Maybe there will be a good change in their here.
the number of haters on NMS articles has certainly diminished since this release.
i'm glad it's getting attention again. it is a highly ambitious game and they just couldn't do out justice by the 2016 deadline. But the HG team is as passionate about the game as its fans are. they are determined to make it great
Its indeed an interesting topic. The media has a huge influence. They know it and abuse of it.
Xbox fans hated it because ti was exclusive now it's on Xbox so they can't hate on it. That's really what changed.
