        A video from three years ago about a game that had an extremely rough, bug-ridden, underwhelming launch.

        I haven’t played it, but I understand that it has improved dramatically since then.

        At launch I wouldn’t have told anyone to buy No Man Sky, but that game has ALSO gotten significantly better since launch and now I would recommend people buy it.

        CD Projekt should have earned enough goodwill from the community at large for us to be willing to forgive their mistakes when they fix them.

          They worked their asses off and only recently called the game “finished”.

          It’s testament to how every developer should be. Full-time, aggressive, and reactive development for 3.5 years after the launch date on a singleplayer game. Obviously, it’s actually quite the masterpiece now and very positively reviewed. Definitely recommend it.

        Mate, if you can only answer with a 41 minutes video, you shouldn’t throw such allegations on a text forum. Write at least one paragraph with key points, for Christ’s sake!

        But if the game is good enough for 25+ hours of your life, you can’t justify pirating it.
