Yes, NMS was overhyped and completely failed to meet expectations. But it was also complete garbage on release. 7/10? Not even close. It's one of the only games I ever bought on physical disk that I returned because it was so bad when it wasn't unplayable. That wasn't a problem with expectations, that was a terrible fucking game.
...this sounds like a company that simply has the wrong processes in place
LOL! OMG, I totally thought you were talking about their process for dealing with negative press/reviews. What's funny is that your comment basically applies to both your point and mine and that kinda reinforces the point for both versions...
Welcome to 30 years ago. This is the least new news I've seen in ages!
I am not sure what this comment is trying to accomplish. But grats on all those upvotes I guess.
Considering bugs are the main meat of your post, it seems like it should.
You realize that the 2.0 update that introduced all those new bugs is unrelated to the DLC right? Everyone got that update and those bugs regardless of whether they paid for the DLC.
I am talking about their public DNS that blocks ads like a pi hole.

It works on any device that lets you set the DNS. Put it on your home router so everything on your wifi benefits, set it in your phone settings so you can benefit when you're not at home. I'm a huge fan. Way easier than setting up your own and it works really well.
So that eliminates just setting their DNS to an ad blocking one in their Wi-Fi settings.
You can setup DNS ad blocking in the DNS settings, not the wi-fi settings, so it will follow you everywhere. I believe the setting is called "Private DNS" and it works great for me with the free AdGuard DNS. There is a setting to turn it on and off in there too.
Interesting to read the less than stellar reviews. I might try to hold off on this one and grab it on sale later, especially with Starfield coming out soon.
Hey, leave the accountants out of this! We count things, we don't set policy.
Since nobody has mentioned it, I'll throw in "X4: Foundations". The X series is janky in places but oh so satisfying if you can get past the jank. Build a military empire to take over the galaxy, or maybe a trading empire. Or maybe you want to become an industrialist and build huge stations to print money. You can be a pirate or a salvager or any combination of the above. And there are tons of interesting mods if you get sick of the vanilla game.
Love this game!
It is beyond bizarre to me that we are discussing another election with Trump in it.
