LOL we aren't comparing these games as to their genre or their PR issues. We are putting these games on the same boat because both offer empty and lifeless open worlds with pointless and honestly barren content.

Honestly both games are scummy in their own way but Sea of Thieves is more scummy in my opinion:
Sea of Thieves with the gall they had to slap a 70 euro price tag on a game (despite rare employees allegedly voicing concerns with such content) with insulting content made by a TRIPLE A studio that has had considerable experience in making games. It took 4 YEARS to make this? It sickens me as to the guts they had to charge full price.

No Man's Sky with their blatant lies and promises but I can still excuse them since they are an INDIE studio that just got caught up and carried away with the hype their game exposed them to. They were just way out of their depth and just got carried away. It's far better now, you have base building and a decent campaign.

Even then, the comparisons are justifiable because game design, gameplay and world design are similarly barren and pointless. Both consist of doing fetch quests in a barren open world.
