Agreed. I'll wait for official numbers before saying congrats. Though, this seems to be another No Man's Sky. We'll have to wait and see if MS is going to sink as much time and money into it as Hello Games did to flesh it out. 

 

Eh.... I dont recall MS making huge promises about what this game was. Its kinda exactly what I expected.

With No Man's Sky, I believe people were very much mislead. We werent even sure if it was a social experience, but the the answer was kinda yes but not really...

I think its silly to treat these two as the same. Not even the same genre really.

They did claim that the Beta was only ~10-20% of the full game.
Full game releases and its pretty clear that was a massive lie, the beta was basically the entire game.
