Comment on Sean Murray just crushed my hopes of playing Light No Fire anytime soon

He got burned so hard with how he hyped No Mans Sky that I think he is changing his tone with their new game.
The devs earned my respect back with all the free updates to NMS, so I will be keeping an eye on this one, and I respect him for toning back the hype.
I’ve gotten so much out of NMS by now that I would prepay for Light No Fire and not care of it wasn’t playable for 5 years.
But, I don’t blame them for being cautious and it cements my “loyalty“.
Contrast with Subnautica which I might have said the same about until they sold out to Krafton and the ensuing drama.
100%, he’s doing the right thing. It will be out when it’s out.
I’m sick of hype trains anyways.
I would be totally fine if they dropped a trailer, Nintendo-style, that ended with “Oh by the way, it’ll be out in a week.”
Take your time, Hello Games. Get it right!
At the same time i still would like to see some gameplay. The game was revealed in two years ago and we still don’t know how it plays
Considering the number of NMS updates that are just back-ported features that were created for Light No Fire, I suspect the game loop will be pretty much the same as what we already have in NMS

He didn’t hype No Man’s Sky. He lied about the game and what it had at release to trick potential customers into making him rich.
“Lie” - a verb with a clear definition and there’s no reason sugarcoat it.
Also, the game didn’t have “free” updates. They made millions selling an unfinished piece of crap to a lot of suckers.

That sounds like early access with extra steps

Yeah, early access with an apology.
