The head of No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games, Sean Murray, has said it would be a bad idea for his mental health to think about how much money the studio could have made by charging for the game’s various expansions or by selling microtransactions.
“I’m sure somebody could take me aside, take me into a room and show me some PowerPoint and show me that we could have made more money if we had done in-app purchase or, you know, if we had done DLC or something like that,” Murray told GamesRadar. “‘And maybe that would be true. I never want to see that PowerPoint.”
Murray and the team decided against this, though, because the studio wanted players to have access to all of the post-release content together.
