If it truly is Minecraft in spaaace...ace...ace, and there are around a quintillion planets to explore...I don't think I'll have a problem getting my $60 worth of game.

It could be an empty world filled with no content though. I'm very skeptical of open world games if there is no substance. I love Elite Dangerous, but it doesn't force feed you content. You have to get out there and engage in the universe. Some people stall out pretty quick when they realize it doesn't hand you objectives. At least in Elite there is a deep story with a political system and exploration among players, that you can actually engage.
There is a PC version....and beta testers.
NMS, It's not real multiplayer. There is the word multiplayer, and you can see your friends on the map, but there is zero physical contact with other people.
It's not procedurally generated as they say. The content is on fixed locations. There might be some extra stuff that is procedural, but the content is on known locations.
I'm not sure where this "MineCraft in space" is coming from. There is no making bases or living on planets. You fly default ships with no customization to planets to check them out. Grab resources. Hit up some space stations. continue.....
This aint a AAA title with a big team. This is from a successful indie group that historically made a mobile game.
Sure does look pretty though.

The main developer did an interview with some enthusiast press and they asked about how often you'd find a cool plentiful planet and threw out like 9/10? and he responded that yeah he's aiming for around 9/10 being empty/boring. Also talked about flying into space for 15 minutes looking for stuff. Think I might pass on this if it requires that much searching to find cool stuff or wait till I have a bunch of time available to goof around. They also go into the basics of the NPC's and that you have to explore the land to learn the language. Sounds pretty cool for the first couple of planets but might be tedious after the 3rd or 4th.

He was asked this and said his team is too small and it's not a good fit. I wish it was, in its current state it will likely get old really quickly. It's like the mining parts of mass effect without the story or goals. Still cool and beautiful though.

Game looks ambitious but I think it will be boring after you visit a couple of worlds and the initial shock wears off.
Bump.
So, some guy (allegedly) bought a copy off of ebay for over $1000. He began, shortly after, posting gameplay videos of it in action. Here's a pretty good article about what happened, with updates: http://kotaku.com/guy-starts-leakin...m_source=Kotaku_Twitter&utm_medium=Socialflow
What's been really crazy is, Sony and Hello Games have been filing copyright claims on videos of people merely talking about the game left and right. I happened to post in the comment section of one on Youtube, hit F5, and the video had already been deleted. FYI, there was no footage from this Damien guy anywhere in it.
Curious what everyone's thoughts are on this. I keep wondering if there's some earth-shattering secret that Sean Murray wants to keep hidden until release but, I can't imagine what it is.

I'm very interested in the game, but definitely keeping my hopes in check. After all, I was reeeeal excited about Fable and Spore and look how those turned out.
So yeah, Im not gonna day-1 purchase. I'm gonna catch some actual reviews, watch some vids, see how it goes from there.

I wouldn't want this on console, but I'm debating whether to get this on Steam. I can see it filling the 'chill and play something repetitive while listening to music library' niche if it's addictive enough. That having been said, I can also see the possibility of this game failing but then paving the way for a major studio game that steals and refines most of its ideas.
