With journalists reviewing an unfinished version of No Man's Sky and putting a false narrative around the game, we look at how we got here and its implications.

Game isn't even out, how is it botched launch? Its like receiving an a raw copy of a movie that hasn't gone through post production and saying its a terrible movie because of how unpolished it is. Just wait till the damn thing releases.

It's not released yet, but Business Insider UK just put up a pre review and they love it.

You'll see that I'm completely with you on that, however many large sites including Forbes (who called it a botched launch) have been taking the game to town when they clearly played an unfinished version which is the part of the point of the article.

DigitalRaptor3572d ago

There are actually very few early press impressions that are negative.

Some of the folks from the press are proving what I already knew about them, but most are positive, so what could have been a botched launch is turning out great so far. So close to having a copy in my hand, only a few hours now... surely.

this site gave it a 7.9, another site a 8.5. not too bad but not stellar either. we'll see. but one thing that is very interesting is your stance on this game compared to quantum break. this game you seem to defend till the cows come home and call anyone who gives it a bad review or preview ignorant yet you kept saying how quantum break wasn't very good WITHOUT playing it. you can't get any more ignorant than that.

wait, actually you can. an example is commenting on how the xbox has lost its appeal due to their games going to the pc yet ironically you and so many others who keep repeating this nonsense are buying this game on the ps4! it's so obvious what you guys are trying to do.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing22d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit22d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing22d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9222d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
