The Engoodening of No Man's Sky

Internet Historian · Jan 9, 2020 · 53m 51s

What this video covers

Internet Historian tells the story of No Man's Sky, from its over-hyped and badly received launch to years of updates by Hello Games that redeemed the game. It is a long, comedic mini-documentary.

Why it surfaced in Hacker News

Frequently recommended as an entertaining account of a failed launch and recovery, especially in threads about Star Citizen and over-promising.
