10 Video Game Developers Who Genuinely Care About Their Fans

Much has been said about the tumultuous release of No Man's Sky. It was an unprecedented mess that would have easily sunk a studio with less perseverance and guile than Hello Games. But what saved them and their game was the genuine care and passion they had for both it, and the people playing it.

For all the thousands of people trying to get refunds due to broken promises, there was a small community of dedicated explorers who saw the potential of the worlds surrounding them.

Sure, there wasn't an awful lot to do and some of the landscapes and inhabitants were Lovecraftian nightmares but there was an undeniable charm to this madness.

Once the controversy blew over, Hello Games started clear communication and updates with the fans that stuck with them through the storm. The following game-fixing, promise-delivering updates and game-altering updates were done exclusively for the fans and at no extra cost to them.

Soon, players started making their way back to No Man's Sky, with a newfound respect for the developers that stayed true to their vision and created the game they promised to make.
