| FunFan said: A dutch company called Genicap is claiming they own the "super-formula" used as the basis for No Man Sky procedually generated Space. And they do have a very good case as No Man Sky devs already discussed a year ago that they were using a formula created by a plant geneticist named Johan Gielis who happens to work at Genicaps. Well, seems this formula was patented back in 2004. Still, the timing of this claim seems a bit too convenient as the game was close to launch on PC, but this dispute may force another delay until things are settled. It could take years to settle anything in court, but something tells me Genicap might be very willing to settle things outside. Regardless of what happens this is a very unfortunate event for No Man Sky developer as they seem to be caught in a lose-lose situation here. In case the worst happens, at least we still have Starbound. Article from Gamezone. Original Report from Telegraaf. |
