This makes sense, while I am having fun with Starfield, no mans sky offers an experience that I felt that Starfield promised and did not provide.

I don’t understand where they promised space sim. I think people are getting confused with what was promised and what was hoped for.

Probably because it was compared with Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen a lot. I saw a lot of talk about it in those communities. And the YouTubers who cover those games posted a lot of videos about Starfield too. So at least from that perspective, I can understand why folks would. I certainly thought there was going to be some element of space sim in it.

But they were very clear about what you could and couldn't do.

Yeah, but people don't listen and make up their own headcanon, only to be sorely disappointed.

We've seen that time and time again.

Well, if some people are anything like me then there's a bunch of people who had no interest in the hype train, didn't watch those YouTube videos and just went off of the video titles when they popped up in subscriptions.
