You misunderstand.

I like the game. I have always liked the game.

I don’t think there are many people who like the game now who didn’t originally.

It’s not a game for everyone. Some people went in expecting Eve Online or Star Citizen (what a finished Star Citizen would look like). Instead it’s a 3D Starship Omega with a touch of Minecraft. but I liked Starship Omega so I liked No Man’s Sky.

Based on? Because even in 2022 they were selling well. TL;DR: They cleared ~$50mill in revenue on a game with no DLC. So I'd be very curious where you're getting your information from, as that clearly shows they are still selling units.

I never said it was for everyone or anything about expectations.
