No Man’s Sky Explorer’s Edition Finally Being Received by Customers, Five Months After Game Launched

According to numerous posts on social media, it appears that customers are finally starting to receive their copy of No Man Sky's $150 Explorer's Edition, five months on from the game's launch.

That's good.

The people that pre-ordered this edition must be wondering as to why it took 5 months though to get what they paid for ...... edit do people not read or what

[FullmetalRoyale]

Because they've been waiting for five months...

[IndominusRex]

Because the finally got a copy?

@Barricade Mouth-to-mouth advertising??? I've only found out about things through word-of-mouth advertising...I've been getting jipped! :-p

[DillyDilly]

I bet most people that got theirs were like

"When did I order this"

[Vitalogy]

Funny XD

No one cares at this point. To little, to late. Releasing content that was promised 5 months later is unacceptable.

[Chaosdreams]

People care. The problem is, as you stated, "to little, to late." However that doesn't mean that no one is still interested in the initial experience that No Man's Sky was supposed to deliver. With updates, comes more content, which means an increase in potentially bringing back some gamers who want to get lost in exploration.

The initial game was a barren wasteland. And the silence that came after, both resulted in as you said, being "unacceptable." Still, Hello Games hasn't given up in making it better, so I think, as some see this, they too, won't give up in having interest and potentially one day enjoying an experience.

But yes. This is something that should never happen (a game releasing in such a state). Once this game is done having updates, I still think Hello Games is going to feel a very, very, empty reception, in their future projects.

TOO little, TOO late.

FOR YOU!

I'm pretty sure everyone who ordered this edition cares about receiving what they paid for.

Congratulations on completely missing the point. Let me spell it out for you, people paid $150 for a collectors edition that they expected to receive at launch but are only receiving now. Those people that ordered this edition absolutely care about receiving the product they paid $150 for. They aren't just going to accept not receiving what they paid for and move on.

Maybe next time try reading more than just "No Man's Sky".

[XanderZane]

They've moved on by now or have already sold the game. Most likely playing Astroneer, Elite Dangerous or The Last Guardian by now. First impressions are important.

I had so much hope for this game. I hope they can improve with updates but they will always have a black cloud over this IP

[crazysammy]

I ordered this and what a massive headache its been. They refused to do refunds because they sent the steam codes for the game day one, but never sent anything else. I still havent received mine but I have the tracking number so we will see.

[Irishguy95]

Crazy they could get away with such practice

[mogwaii]

This embarressment of a game needs to just die and let the other devs show us and them how its done.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Once this game is considered complete and priced accordingly I'll pick it up. Wow imagine how that guy feels who paid what was it 1k before release? Lol idiot.

If this game would've been $40 and not mega-hyped, it could have been great.

[XanderZane]

If it was $25 and not hyped, it probably wouldn't have been a big deal.
