"We aren't even close to being finished yet" is kind of a weird thing to say eight years after making your 1.0 release.
- It means they plan to still make many more updates. Not weird IMO.
  1.0 is the start of the journey, not the end these days.
  
  Member when 1.0 was a complete game and a few years later you got 2.0 which was a complete game with a new story?
- I understand where you're coming from but I assume they mean it in a way similar to Minecraft where, officially the game launched 1.0 13 years ago, but they still want to add a lot more to the game. Basically free updates for the foreseeable future which definitely isn't a bad thing.
Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle.
I've played a ton of NMS for the same reason I've played a ton of Minecraft: you can build and be creative, and you can acquire and upgrade stuff until it's maxed out. But, once I've built my base and maxed out all my stuff, I lose interest. Fallout 4 also has base building and item customization and upgrades, but there are also story missions and objectives.
- No Man’s Sky has story missions as well. And they continue to add more.
  
  Beat the story, built a few bases, did derelicts, then it just became logging on to check my settlement and fleet every few hours. Kinda got bored afterwards. Nothing to really move towards that isn't time gated.
I may be in the minority but the more that gets added the less interested I am in playing. I liked it when it was a bare bones game with ridiculous critters and you just explored. I own 3 copies so my family and I could all play at once but I haven't loaded it in months.
Interested to try it put when they stop live servicing it and calling it finished
- You should just try it then...no need to virtue signal on the internet about this
  
  I will, once its finished that is, I like my games complete and without who knows how many more updates waiting
- You must have interesting opinions on home maintenance and renovation
