Sorry I haven't been able to say anything til now. With retail games, there are legal/external reasons why you can't talk freely about dates

I have received loads of death threats this week, but don't worry, Hello Games now looks like the house from Home Alone #pillowfort

Personal HOT TAKE: @NoMansSky has tons of potential and should take as long as it can/should/needs to be exceptional.
