No Man’s Sky Settles Lawsuit With Sky TV

Before revealing the company had made peace with Sky, Murray tweeted that he and Hello Game’s David Ream were working from laptops temporarily because the studio lost power.

Murray revealed the outcome of the dispute on Twitter, stating “Yay!” The game will not have to be retitled or delayed: it will apparently be releasing normally with its title intact, which means that all is well. He added that it has been going on for three years in secret, which explains the fact that everyone except the people involved in the lawsuit did not know that the problem even existed. This is likely a huge relief for developer Hello Games, seeing as how No Man’s Sky is scheduled for release on August 9th.

The UK broadcasting giant (unrelated to the New Zealand broadcasting giant) had sought to prevent developer Hello Games from using the word “sky” in its title.

The game was originally supposed to come out next Tuesday, but at the time he announced the delay, Murray said “some key moments needed extra polish to bring them up to our standards”.

Remember back in 2013 when Microsoft was forced to change the name of their cloud storage service, SkyDrive, to OneDrive, thanks to United Kingdom telecoms company Sky saying that customers would be confused?

“I have received loads of death threats this week, but don’t worry, Hello Games now looks like the house from Home Alone”, he jokingly said.
