No Man's Sky may drop on PC later than expected
Apparently, the date has been moved back by three days.
Remember when we thought that No Man's Sky would be coming out at the same time on PlayStation 4 and PC? Of course, there was the delay to August, but even when August 9 was officially confirmed, nothing was said by developer Hello Games about any change to a simultaneous release.
Until now.
According to the About page on the official site, it looks like the PlayStation 4 version (which won't require a PS Plus membership) is going to get three days of exclusivity, with the PC version now coming on August 12. The change must be fairly recent, given that the game's Steam page and Humble store page still have an August 9 date. Granted, three days is not long in the overall scheme of things, but it is a delay for PC players eager to get their huge space sim.
We've reached out to Hello Games for some reasoning and will update if we get a comment.

More like No Man's PC...or Goodbye Games :(

The delay is completely irrational. The only explanation I can think of is if they're having mouse lag issues like a lot of console to PC ports had back in the days of Oblivion (and still more recently, though I've avoided most games), otherwise, game content is the same afaik, so...idk why they hate PC gamers.

Did you read the article? It's "delayed" by 3 days.

Of course I did. However, they provided no reason. No reason = favoritism for a platform unless they decide to provide a legitamite one. Otherwise, the game was already delayed for 6 weeks. That said, I'm still waiting for reviews before I drop $60, and I should probably wait until the Steam Winter Sale anyways since it's a single player game.

I've experienced a few bad ports before, and the problems never got fixed even though it was stated that PC's were not forgotten. When multi-platform games are involved, I assume the worst until reviews prove otherwise.

Weird. Though it seems like Steam releases have been known to come out on Friday more and more these days while boxed console games still have the traditional Tuesday release.

Weird, wonder why
