NMS was hardly a failure, even at launch. It may have been panned but all those complainers still bought copies

Pretty sure it has done well in sales since, it has gone on sale and the updates have gained it a ton of good will

That was partly the reason I bought it once the post-release fixes came in. To help show that "not screwing people" is a viable business model.

The devs did the right thing by their customers which is sadly quite rare these days.

Pre-orders are hardly a success. The game is now doing well off of a hard-earned sales tail thanks to good will and amends. Which answers the root question: the update isn't "free" if it attracts new customers.
