Not as bad as King trademarking "Candy"
Screw these big companies. It's things like this that prevent game developers from reaching their true limit.

Let's trademark 'box' and sue Sky.

Reminds me of the battle The banner Saga had with King(The twats who own Candy Crush Saga) trying to copyright the world Saga and which led to such a long delay to the Banner Saga 2 getting released.
Some daft people around this days who think they own the rights to common words.


| Ka-pi96 said: For real? That's fucking pathetic! There's no way companies should be able to trademark words and prevent others from using them. Why the fuck did the courts even allow this in the first place? And I'd love it if Hello Games now sued those bastards for harrasment, because that's what is it really. |
Sometimes it is understandable like lets say Mickey is owned by Disney. That is perfect, they will defend it blah blah blah. However if people own dictionary words that is like WTF. Obviously the game is not called SkyTV (I assume that is who is sueing them, we don't get Sky in NA), it is called No Man's Sky.

Once they fully trademark genetics, they'll own us all.

Pretty much. I'm going to spend a load of money to sue your insignificant company in order to get less than 20% of the money I used for my lawyers in the first place.
Great logic, right?
