Could No Man's Sky hurt the industry?

Very well said. I couldn't have put it any better.

This is also the reason I'm not too excited for the game. I need goals and benchmarks to really enjoy an action-adventure game like this. While No Man's Sky seems ambitious and rich in ideas, it doesn't seem to have a strong sense of purpose or direction.

Yeah, but neither does Minecraft.

I'm suprised there's so much doubt of the viability of a game like this in a post-Minecraft world. Many people don't need that sense of direction. NMS is being positioned as a toolbox of mechanics for a community to discover together. It takes a look a why Minecraft and Dark Souls are so successful, and makes a game out of that. NMS is a game about community, and I'm sure that's going to resonate with tens of millions of people.

That's some strong karate. You split boards and smahed bricks.
