I had heard that they turned things around a little but I didn't know they went that far to try and fix the game.
On the other hand, its a $60 release and to wait over 3 years after release for a game resembling what you thought you were buying is still shitty. I refuse to believe they didn't know what kind of development time they were looking at, making a procedurally generated space exploration game with that amount of depth and a team so small. Ultimately they should have thought more about that rather than jumping on the Sony train.
Just finished this, finally. Great video, great documentary on NMS.
Also, the ending of the video was probably the best part.
