Good lord this one is the best out there. The feeling of discovery, always something new around the corner, the freedom of being who you wanna be, so much to explore, to see, breath taking views, etc. Its just awesome. Ever since Hello Games did NMS right and actually gave it the promised features, I’ve been hooked. After a bad day at work, I just log in and enjoy the atmosphere, the beautiful planet landscapes and you know….it just goes away. Its peaceful, awesome and I can revel in its beauty. I might not be the most min maxing player out there (because I feel this game doesn’t need that level of optimization but to each his own) but you know….this game helps. When I feel down, its beauty and the feeling it inspires always do good. Just my 2 cents.

And I played them side by side for a VERY LONG time. For almost 5 years, I was a devout CMDR in Elite. I was active in the community, I wrote stories on inara.cz and I built dream ships in Coriolis. Then, out of the blue, Frontier Developments announced that they would no longer give support to console gamers and that no future DLC would be added except to PC. So after 5 years of paying them for every scrap of content to include paint jobs, ship kits, and decorative boubles for my cockpits; after spending $50 of my hard-earned money so many years ago to purchase a physical copy of the game, I was told to either buy a Steam Deck/PC, or kiss off because (supposedly) the FPS aspect that was added in the Odyssey expansion was too much for consoles to handle.

Meanwhile, here’s Hello Games not only constantly expanding the game by leaps and bounds (totally for free) and not only have they never stated that NMS is too much for consoles to handle, they’ve done the impossible and added the Switch to their list of platforms! And with every expansion or update, there’s always something that HG has in the background to try to improve stability for non-PC fan base. Proving without a doubt that the Elite dev team and their claims are full of sh*t.

Thank you Hello Games for actually CARING about the people who spent money on your product and fastly refusing to leave us blowing in the wind as you move forward. Thank you for doing all of this hard work for FREE (even though I have no idea through what sorcery you’re supporting yourself). And thank you for putting other developers to absolute shame by showing them how you’re supposed to treat people who invest both their time and their faith in your product. I’m proud that after I hung up my CMDRr’s hat, I was able to pick up the cloak of a traveler…
