These days it's so hard to sort the marketing from the reality isn't it?

I'd say it's clickbait. The hardcore SC people act like other games don't exist and won't say a peep about them. Those of us that have sunk money into SC but play other games too will just play whatever suits us at the time. There is plenty to bitch about SC without comparisons to other games' updates. When we do compare to other games it tends to be generalized like, "Online games have had working doors, elevators, and inventory since the 1990s."

I haven't seen any meltdowns, no. Beyond being "Space Games", they are very different games anyway. Yes, No Man's Sky has had a very impressive development at an impressive speed, while Star Citizen... hasn't, but Star Citizen is aiming for a completely different scale of simulation and detail.

I would classify all of those titles as clickbait and ignore them. I play and enjoy both games, and both have their place.

Those are called drama YouTubers. Just block all of them, will be good for your mental health.
