Yes Sean Murray lied by falling to deliver on promises he truly did intend to achieve at first and Sony’s marketing team made it worse and widespread.
If people felt hurt and cheated for the failed launch back then, fair.
It’s been ten years, and the game is almost entirely different, for free. The distaste for it now is unjustified if it comes from back then, so let people enjoy the thing now. Again, if you don’t like it, don’t sit there saying “I don’t like it” while crossing your arms. Go find something else that brings you joy and share that joy with others there, instead of sapping the joy others feels here.
It’s a game, that’s why I compare if to games, and people who make fun of others who enjoy the game.
I’m not saying the game isn’t good now. They’ve done a fantastic job getting it to where it is now and everyone should definitely give it a second chance. But Rockband (I’m a huge RB nerd btw, my friends and I definitely skipped a few too many school days to play it all day instead) and Minecraft gets poked fun of because they really are just digital Lego and hitting plastic together, but they are still among the best games ever. The closest equivalent I can think of for NMS was that the game had a very shallow game loop of collecting resources and upgrade your ship, which is what it was when it first launched.
I don’t see much hate for NMS anymore, either people forgot it exists or they are praising how good it has become.

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
