No Man’s Sky didn’t have the best launch. In fact, I’d be willing to argue that it had the worst launch. But developer Hello Games has done an admirable job supporting the game since then, and this latest update has me seriously thinking about diving back in.

How much have you spent on one game? I’d be willing to bet it pales in comparison to the amount of money gamer Blake Patterson has dumped into his pursuit of the ultimate No Man’s Sky experience.
