No Man's Sky 

A video game released by Hello Games in 2016. Despite the hype that took this indie game to a AAA title, at the time of its release, many features it was said to have were missing and it was rampant with glitches.
However, in the ultimate act of putting people before profits, the NMS team released many bug fixes and has since delivered many of the features it was missing, and added even more which were never mentioned before its release, even introducing virtual reality support on PC and PS4. Unlike many game studios, Hello Games never charged for any of the new content and or VR support. Thus, No Man's Sky may be one of the best video games of our time, and is certainly a leader in how to continue a game if it doesn't live up to expectations.
"I played No Man's Sky all day!"

"I preordered No Man's Sky and was so disappointed after first, but they updated their game and now it's great."

Bob: "No Man's Sky is fire."
John: "Yeah, a dumpster fire."
Bob: "Nah man, they fixed the problems and now it's been engoodened."
John: "Aw man, I wish Bethesda would do the same thing..."

"It'd be great if Skyrim did a No Man's Sky and fixed their bugs."

no man's sky 

No Man's Sky is a Open world survival sandbox video game developed by Hello Games. No Man's Sky will be released on June 21, 2015 on the US, and June 24 for Europe. No Man's Sky will have over 18 Quintilion Planets to explore, and be able to seemlessly jump from planet to planet. In No Man's Sky will allow the player to make their own story. The player can either be an explorer, a trader/merchant, or a fighter. No Man's Sky will have randomly generated planets, that means that no planet is the same, every planet is unique.
No Man's Sky will be an awesome game. So pre-order your copy at local retailer.

No Man’s Sky 

As a verb; “We were No Man’s Sky’ed” or; “CD Project RED really tried to No Man’s Sky us with Cyberpunk 2077”.

Alternative use; “To pull a No Man’s Sky”

The act of intentionally releasing a game unfinished and dealing with the backlash to reap early profits and attempt to recoup lost reputation of the company by fixing the game over the initially intended development cycle.

A tactic used by greedy developers and directors to “release the game twice” and getting more profits while attempting a redemption story for clout.

No Man's Sky Effect 

The 'No Man's Sky Effect' is used to described an occurrence when someone will not pay for something until after it has been released to public.
This is to ascertain whether the product will be good before buying it.

The 'No Man's Sky Effect' is caused by the game "No Man's Sky". The developers built up the game and informed everyone of these amazing features that will be included in the game. Doing so, they earned a great lot of money through kickstarter donations etc. However upon release it turned out that the majority of these features were either lies or not everything they cracked up to be. This caused the game to become a massive disappointment to everyone who had paid a lot of money towards the game.

And now because of this many people have become afeared to buy a game before public reviews come out.
"Ah man, everyone's pre-ordering the new Far Cry game. You should get it too"
"No thanks. I'm going to wait"
"How come?"
"The No Man's Sky Effect is kicking in"

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
