The game turned out to be the EXPLORATION game that the devs told people (who were actually listening) to expect. The problem is that so many people hyped themselves up into thinking they were getting Elite Dangerous for the PS4...that its become a meme that's out of control. The game is getting bad mouthed for all manner of things the devs never actually promised. But so many people who didn't learn about this game have convinced themselves that they WERE promised them, that Steam and Sony just don't see fighting it to be worth the ongong bad publicity. A case of Perception (no matter how misguided) becoming "reality". Rather than reality being reality.

So if I just want to waste hours exploring and looking at cool space stuff for no reason other than it looks neat then I'm good to go? Because that's kind of what I thought it was supposed to be, and if so I think I'll give it a go.

From what I can gather it's like a dumbed down futuristic minecraft with better graphics but much less fun
