The game that was once anticipated by many has now become a beacon of hate on the internet.
No Man’s Sky was supposed to be the title that changed everything in the video game industry. But most people who played it criticised it for being underwhelming and not the game that Hello Games promised.
It should come as no surprise that people are asking for their money back considering the flack the game has received even since its launch, there is even a whole Reddit post dedicated to detailing what is missing -- the original post is now deleted although it can still be viewed on another Reddit user thread as well as on a website dedicated to publishing everything wrong with the game suitably called No Man’s Lie.
According to a few Reddit users, Amazon, Steam and even Sony are offering a full refund for digital downloads of the game (not hard copies). It should be noted that the refund applies regardless of how many hours you've clocked on No Man’s Sky.
“Just heard on a random twitch channel they're giving refund so i gave it a shot even though I tried the day it came out, AND HOLY SHIT IT WORKED. I should mention I had 8 hours in the game, and a negative review. For anyone who is not getting a refund I would just keep trying. I'm not sure why it works for some and not others but no harm in just trying again,” said Reddit user, whaaatcrazy.
Neogaf users are also reporting the same.
“You can do this with practically anything on Steam so long as you are not abusing the system,” a Neogaf user posted.
“I assume they have some internal criteria for all this in coming to a decision as to whether you can get a refund when outside the normal refund criteria. I managed to get a refund on Volume & Homeworld Remastered (which I have since repurchased) despite being both over the 14 day criteria and over the 2 hours played criteria for both games.”
“I got my refund from PSN customer support a couple nights ago. 50+ hours of playtime. Not surprised to see Steam doing the same thing,” claimed another Neogaf user.
So if you think that No Man’s Sky isn't what you paid for or you feel it was a bad investment, now’s your chance to request a refund. But before you do, keep in minds that Hello Games founder -- Sean Murray -- announced a new patch for No Man’s Sky that he claims will make improvements to the game.
