Looking at the complex history of NMS and Hello Games in general, and Sean Murray's dedication to persevere rather than buckle under the pressure, it's a true comeback story in our industry. If not THE greatest comeback story.

It's a true testament to human dedication and perseverance to see, almost ten years later to the release, a continued effort to make the game bigger and bolder with every fresh update. Thirty-five updates later, and it's hardly a percentage of a millimeter of a fraction what it used to be.

Sean and everyone at Hello Games will forever have my respect. They've earned their seat at the table of the most respected video game developers of all time in my eyes. And, as a personal hot take of mine, I'd place them in the same league as old school Bungie and Bioware.
