Is it wrong for a game to get out of the way and let the player make their own fun?

No.

Exploring is only fun for so long.
What else is there to do?

To be fair, games are usually only ever fun for a while.

>>344923692
I disagree.

Why would you ever play any other game if the one you're playing never stops being fun? Do you only play one game and no other games ever?

I play lots of games. If I feel like playing a stealth game I go ahead and play it. I can go back to my racing game, for example, any time I want; it's not because I got bored of it or stopped having fun.
This isn't uncommon or anything, why would you ask that?

>all games must be exactly what I expect them to be, otherwise the developers are just dirty fucking liars

I just want to explore planets and moons and solar systems, craft, survive, discover, fight space pirates, be a space pirate, learn the lore, join factions, learn alien languages and just walk and fly around. /v/ is triggered by this though

No. It just won't appeal to certain kinds of players.

I think your statement also applies heavily to games like Minecraft and Terraria, where the mileage a player gets out of it depends a lot on the player's own creativity AND interest in said game's environment. I couldn't get excited about Minecraft or Terraria, so those games bored me to hell. I have friends that have poured thousands of hours into both games, though.

I'll probably give No Man's Sky a chance. Exploration has always appealed more to me than building.

Last game I played with the "make your own fun" approach was Elite: Dangerous and I got bored of it within a week. Not falling for that meme again.
