How is this any different than No Man's Sky?

But that's real life, this is a video game. People will not share that same respect for it lol.

Straight out of "30 things I hate about your pitch", which is a great GDC talk. In that talk he has one thing that is "in the real world you can't double jump". Don't make a realistic setting that is realistic just because.

The thing about video games is that they're a multivariate equation. Fun is a variable, and so is realism. Depending on how much realism there already is, and the nature of it, adding more can also increase the fun but it can also take away from the fun. There's a reason that even the hardcore simmers who do things like drive pretend trucks across Europe in real time or run pretend air traffic control at pretend airports pay to pretend to do those things instead of getting paid to do them for real.
