The poor desert. It would not deserve 100000 Gollum cartridges.

Yeah only strip away your license to play the game, but y'know the files are still there! So... Yay digital.

I don't even think that would help... I mean, the concept and design is bad from the outset. It's not just the execution that was bad.

The difference is NMS always had a solid concept

Even if you fix Gollum, all you're gonna get is a generic 3rd person action-adventure game. We got this game about a hundred times in the Xbox/PS2 era.

No Man's Sky was worth salvaging because it did something mechanically different. Gollum is like if you took one of those PS2 Harry Potter games, dropped it into UE4, and changed which licensed property the game uses.

10 years from now the entire world economy is surrounding around Gollum. Everybody are having their own Gollum avatars and own precious properties in the game.

I agree, seeing Gollum start his journey across space to start a completely different game would be quite an improvement.

I refuse to even touch No Man's Sky. I'm sure the game is fine at this point, but I refuse to support a company that thought they could get away with what they attempted to do. Just like KSP2 - sure, they labeled it "Early Access" but they charged full game prices for that thing back in February. It's been half a year later, and there has been literal zero movement on their release roadmap.

Doesn't sound like there is a company left to "move on", and providing patches whist they find some kind of investment to do something new or fold is a good thing.

Unless you would prefer they just sit on their hands .

I'm honestly surprised it was even released.
