Thank you so much for saying this. This community is very toxic in a few ways, and this is one of them.

The "backlash" was mostly centered around the promises made by the game creator and the demo's they showed.
It had everything to do with what promised / implied vs what was actually delivered.
If the creator had slapped a Open Beta tag on the box and charged $20 (and simply upped that number as they got closer to release), everyone would probably still be talking about it.
But instead they delivered on 25%-50% of what they claimed was in the game.
HN in general has weird standards around game quality considering many of the users work on software as service start-ups that launch as almost broken MVPs. I understand NMS asked players to pay $60 up front but they've put their money where there mouth is and continually supported and updated the game.
