When I buy a game or whatever in a 2-figure price range, I'm not looking for a business partner but for features I'm interested in and like to play. All the side story doesn't bother me.
Now, for example, I play Silent Hunter V without knowing who the devs in Ubisoft are. Should I now investigate if they are all ethically right and throw away the game if not? I think I have a collection of hundreds if not thousands of games. Should I now repeat this investigation for all of these games? Methink not.
With today's media one can make profound decisions about what to buy - or not buy. For No Man's Sky I realize that most of those who relentlessly are lamenting are those who have pre-ordered the game or blindly bought it without getting further information. They are stucked in a loop...And these are the people to be blamed, not Hello Games, not Sean Murray. SM was right to sell his game to people who pre-ordered it, it's what these people wanted, so he would have been stupid not to do so.

12. Thou shalt not pre-order
13. Thou shalt not complain if you do and get pissed on
14. Remember the Update and Patch day to keep it holy.
