Opinion: No man's sky has the potential to surpass even Minecraft.

Yeah it certainly has massive potential, like you mention, Minecraft was an empty shell once upon a time, the beauty of games like Minecraft and No Man Sky is that it is SO easy to add content that massively increases the depth, and fun of the game. You already have an infinite randomly generated world as a base, so you can just focus on adding features and expanding the variety and content in the world. You can make a few little changes, and then that change can be dispersed randomly over the entire universe.

I played minecraft in its beginning. It was far from an empty shell.
It got its content from you being abe to build almost anything. It made amazing use of its players creativity.

What does NMS have that could tap into player crativity? A crafting and mining system doesn't make it any similar to minecraft if you can't be creative yourself in it.
I'm sure NMS has a different appeal than player creativity, just saing that it's not, and probably never will be a minecraft. Because it's fundamentally different.
