I think No Man’s Sky is also in the same boat.

I mean games which keep releasing further content over long periods without charging extra for it. Surely the amount of new sales eventually dwindles considerably. Is the cost of new content once you have the core game this low or…?

            It has been “fixed” years ago

            It is still getting new content, it’s a great solo adventure

                It’s mostly a solo game. You explore, build bases, buy and upgrade ships and tools/weapons, and other assorted stuff. More than anything else, it’s a cool random planet generator, so you travel around checking out planets until eventually that gets boring, which might happen soon, of after a couple hundred hours.

            That time was years ago, and it’s worth revisiting every new big update and expedition.

          Every big update also comes with a round of advertisement from gaming sites. I didn’t buy it when it came out but after a few good updates I did.

          Some friends also bought it after reading about something cool being added.

          As long as there’s new people buying the game after every update, they’ll keep making money and working on it.

          No Man’s Sky redemption ark is complete by now. Great game. Kudos to the developers.
