Could No Man's Sky hurt the industry?

From what we know, No Man's Sky has very little story, if at all (It has Lore I think but that's about it). So a narratively impressive game would still appeal more to many than just a free roaming exploration game that utilises a procedurally generated content.

There is a goal and a story but the game itself was meant to promote exploration as well.  The story is more of  way of getting you to explore more and more dangerous regions of the galaxy and the endgame seems to be infinite in its expandablity.
