Oh, No Man's Sky. You showed so much promise.

The hotly-anticipated game looked incredible with its infinite universe and seemingly revolutionary gameplay. But its players have found it to be a few cents short of a dollar. A Happy Meal with no toy. In other words, boring and disappointing.

So, as players fume over a game that fails to live up to expectations, you'd expect game stores to do what they can to sell off all stock of No Man's Sky quickly, before the little Johnnies of the world realise that it isn't good.

But Australian/New Zealand electronics retailer JB Hi-Fi won't lie to you, as demonstrated by this hilarious sign posted on the /r/gaming subreddit by hotsqueakybiscuits, calling No Man's Sky "the best refund simulator of 2016."

"10/10 would refund again," the sign adds.

JB Hi-Fi are well known for their cheeky store displays, such as this sarcastic "games for girls" shelf put up a few months back, with many more available documented at this website, JB Hi-Fi Reviews.

Now, where did that receipt go?
