Was that the cause of the delay? I've not seen any real explanation for it.

Really didn't think such a common word could be owned, but I suspect if someone were to mention an apple in their game title they might face trouble too lol

*Edit* Btw, the more I think about it there was pretty much no chance they'd release this game while still dealing with this. They may have had other reasons for the delay, but that would have held it up either way

"However, as we approached our final deadlines, we realized that some key moments needed extra polish to bring them up to our standards. I have had to make the tough choice to delay the game for a few weeks to allow us to deliver something special."

They're probably telling the truth here, but the issue with the word "Sky" was probably very stressful on their team.

Yeah I imagine so. I definitely trust that they had polishing to do, but the danger of being told they can't use "No Man's Sky" or owe Sky money post-release definitely would have precluded a launch either way imo

Would have been super risky, at least, unless they were certain it'd go down the way it did.
