No Man's Sky was one of the most hyped video games in history due to procedural generation. The fact that they botched it on release is not relevant.
I don't agree at all, the hype was evident, sure, but the procedural generation was largely the reason people didn't like the game.
You stated that procedural generation isn't hated, but 'botching' the usage of it at release is the piece that irrelevant. The people hated it because of the, admittably bad, procedural generation.
