I’m honestly somewhat dismayed that there has been so much drama overshadowing these first days of No Man’s Sky. I’d just like to throw some water on this fire.

This game has just changed gaming history. Incredible. No game world ever created is this large and likely nothing else will ever be. I understand the polarization currently, but we all need to at least appreciate this. In fact, this goes beyond gaming. An entire digital universe can be traversed. This is something special. This is going to be talked about years from now. You’re experiencing a historical moment.

I’d also like to mention how special this game already is to me; I’m always trying to introduce my kids to constellations, star systems, galaxies, etc. I’ve tried numerous times to explain how large the universe is to them but it never quite resonates, as they’re too young.

Last night they watched me play, taking off from one planet and partially orbiting until finally making my way to a space station. My kids have never quite grasped nor seemed enthusiastic about space, however last night their eyes were glued to the television. My oldest child said “daddy, outer space is really big”. Tonight, they want to help me explore the universe.
