5 years of massive free updates, each bettering the previous, and zero paid DLC or microtransaction. I don’t understand how Hello games are profitable with this model and I can only surmise that this model has been conceived in order to prove themselves from the brutal launch of NMS (in which I believe they’ve already achieved).

Often times I find myself feeling bad for Hello games. I buy merch from their online store just as a way to support them. Sometimes I want to reach out to them and say “Guys, you’ve given us so much now. I want you guys to take care of yourselves too. For god sake, charge me for something!!”

Though the community is so wide and ranging in play styles thanks to this brilliant games’ design, I shout from my tiny hilltop in the corner; The frigates with their empty interiors and invisible walls in front of sealed doors, the capital ships visual presentation starting to look outdated compared to the rest of the game, still lacking a sense of crew, and retaining technical bugs and issues, all reaching back to when it was introduced around 2017, going on 4 years ago.

In my humble opinion, it’s time, Hello games.

It’s time.

(which is not to say they haven’t relatively optimized the experience aboard them, HG has certainly put in time on that front)
