    It's coming up on seven years since No Man's Sky was first released and with the way Hello Games keeps cranking out content filled updates all the time, you would think that they still had something they felt compelled to apologize for. No Man's Sky has been quite excellent for quite some time now, but that sure as hell hasn't stopped the updates from flowing.
