No Man's Sky er blandt de mere kontroversielle spiludgivelser de seneste par år, og det skyldes hovedsageligt at udvikleren Hello Games, og særligt instruktør Sean Murray, videregav misvisende information om spillets indhold før udgivelsen.
Sean Murray har faktisk aldrig åbenlyst undskyld for sine kommentarer, der har ledt fans verden over til at afsky spillet og Hello Games, men det gør han nu. I et dybdegående interview med IGN fortæller Murray at fejlene kom fra ambition, og ikke noget dårligt sted fra.
"We messed up some of the easy things, in that we talked about the game too early. We were really excited when we talked about the game. We talked about features as they were in development. Press would say to us, 'It's so nice to get to sit down with a developer and just talk, you know? You guys don't seem scripted.' And we were like, 'Yeah, we don't. Why does everyone else do that? I now understand why everyone does that."
Alt tyder på at NEXT-opdateringen samt en udgivelse på Xbox One har givet spillet nyt liv.
