No Man's Sky

Amazon, Sony, and even Steam are giving refunds on the game now, regardless of play time.



I can't remember the last game where this happened, especially with Sony who never refunds anything.

hmm don't think I'll go as far as refunding it, worse comes to worse I can just give it to my brother(he wants to play it *shrug*)

The Tech behind it is awesome only a 4gig game and the galaxy is huge, I just think a bunch of people were expecting more, people just have no patience, mehh whatever I'll just hold onto it.

I don't think patience, wanting to led around by the nose or ADD, as others have stated, have much of anything to do with it. Most of the people I've seen getting refunds are turning around and buying games like Elite, Subnautica, Empyriom, etc. all of which take just as much (or more) patience and attention to play.

I just think gamers are sick of getting lied to and this game was the ultimate hoodwink. The fact that there are large numbers of people getting refunds should put developers on notice. Hell, when even Sony is giving mass refunds you know there is a problem, they don't even refund pre-orders and half the time make people fight to get back money from being hacked.

I know one thing, Hello Games is done. Their reputation is shit at this point and I don't see any way they recover from this.

I'm now following this thread to keep tabs on how bad this gets

^ I lolled.

My automated Steam refund requests was denied. You probably have to push them with an actual support ticket to have a chance at a refund.

they were expecting what was promised to them. Just look at the angry joe review. When you say you are going to release something then talk about it, even go as far as showing stuff and when the game drops its no where to be found and taken out. of course people are going to be pissed off. THey were lied too. If this was a 20 dollar early access game i think people would be like ok. early access lets see what they can do after 6 months a year whatever. nope, full price game.

You do. All these articles are slightly misleading as some people have had to continuously resubmit theirs. Honestly it's abuse of the system but I guess the massive amount of people disappointed in the game overrules that.

I'm not gonna refund mine because WoW expac comes out in a few days and I'll be playing that for quite a while before I touch another game again. Banking on the hopes that they release something to the game by then.

Steam's main store page for the game now has a note 'The standard Steam refund policy applies to No Man's Sky. There are no special exemptions available.'
