No Man’s Sky rapidly losing players, Investigated for false advertising
No Man’s Sky was supposed to have an enormous universe which players could spend lifetimes exploring. As it turns out, we got tired of it in a month. Sure, the game had an astounding number of players in its opening week, but that number has quickly dwindled below 100 on Steam’s game rankings.
According to stats pulled by Digital Spy, No Man’s Sky had an impressive 194,254 players per hour back on August 12. As of Sunday, players have dropped to a mere 2,123 per hour, sitting at 113 on Steam’s rankings. For context, Evolve: Stage 2 saw its own leap in Steam rankings, but still settled down within the Top 100 games. In other words, if it were actually possible to run into other players in No Man’s Sky, you’d have even less of a chance of that happening now.
This isn’t the only piece of bad news for No Man’s Sky this week – the ASA recently confirmed it had launched an investigation into the game’s false advertising claims.

This is just like Evolve with all the pre-release hype, loads of coverage and gaming media promotion. I didn't see the appeal from the get go anyway. Sure it looked nice and the concept was interesting but whenever I tried to learn more it just seemed to be a shallow experience. Generally I try and hold off on getting new games until after their release just in case of floppage

dah God this game has really gone down hill fast. Loosing players for the game, players not liking the updates for the game what next?>
The devs will quit, like what happened to Spintires lol

Vancouver_Canucks If you aren't narrow minded you'd find the game fairly enjoyable, very repetitive and soon boring but usually enjoyable. It's one of those games you play when you just want to chill and fly around space naming random planets and creatures.
Yeah then say that, don't hussle a $20 game for $60 and make it sound amazing. Why I won't buy a game until I play it

Does anyone know if it is still possible to get a refund on this game when purchased from the PSN store? I haven't played this game since launch and it was just terrible.

I knew from the beginning that this game would be terrible. Yet people continued to defend it and still do for whatever reason.

Good, they should be sued for falsely advertising their trash game. There is videos of the developers confirming that it will be a multiplayer game.
After launch and people said wheres the multiplayer, developers were quick to say that it's not a multiplayer game lmao.
