Future Update Speculation

Apple themed NMS?

That would be a version of NMS that looks superficially slick, but costs four times more than the regular game. Then you find it can’t be modded. Upgrades for ships and multitools can only be purchased from Apple approved Gek, also at four times the regular price. After three weeks the batteries in your ship wear out, and can’t be replaced, so you have to throw it away.

On the plus side, it runs twice as fast… :person_shrugging:

Twice as fast… till the next update drops and now your S class ship runs like a C class in the name of safety/security.(can’t trust those non-convergent Korvaxes these days)

Cargo capacity is less than half and you cant install extra inventory slots. Requires buying a new ship with more inventory or install the convenient teleport receiver to store your items in your freighter for the low price of 300,000 Units/month.

Thursday seems kind of the traditional release day for NMS updates if my memory doesn’t let me down completely, so let’s see if we get something tomorrow.

still leaning towards next week. Sean has clearly broken the pattern with this one.

Red + Green = Brown.

Make of that what you will. :speak_no_evil:

Someone pointed out that the red and green apples side-by-side is reminiscent of the old red/green 3D glasses.

This round of update speculation is admittedly a little unsatisfying :sweat_smile: since we all pretty much know what it is already.

Apple needs to read the room, no one is paying that much for VR in this economy, PSVR2 didn’t even sell that well, and it’s ~$600

I think posting two different apples just implies that there will be more to the update than just release on Mac. I’m not getting my hopes up for it to be much though, you know how the Switch and PSVR2 updates were

Unfortunately, you’d be surprised at what some people are willing to spend/do to get their hands on any of the latest Apple products.

  1. You have a handful of youtubers and reviewers who will buy it day 1(not all get the product free) to get video footage on it before anyone else.

  2. And then you have the devoted apple people who just have to have the latest item.

  3. And then you have the scalper bunch who want to get it first to resell it group 2.

I was using hyperbole when I said no one, what I meant was “not nearly enough for it to be profitable for them”, but I could be wrong

Sorry. I knew what you meant. :slightly_smiling_face: I was just saying that someone would buy it still(unfortunately).

Also, I have a feeling that the VR/AR headset might be released cheaper than rumored. Only reason why I think that is because game consoles usually sell for way less than they are worth because its a way to pull you into their ecosystem(Nintendo,Sony,microsoft) and they get a cut(sometimes a large cut I hear) from every game and DLC sold for their console. So Apple may do similar.

But then again, its apple. Not really known for low affordable prices lol. :sweat_smile: also, it seems like its not a video-game focused device so that might be a reason why it wouldn’t be released for cheap.

Apple kinda has the power of religion going for it, so you never know… It also depends a bit on what the thing can do, I guess.
