No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games settled a hidden three-year legal battle with British cable/TV provider Sky over the game’s title.

Hello Games founder Sean Murray revealed the lawsuit and settlement in a tweet this:

Yay! We finally settled with Sky (they own the word "Sky"). We can call our game No Man's Sky. 3 years of secret stupid legal nonsense over

— Sean Murray (@NoMansSky) June 17, 2016

Additionally, Murray joked in an reply tweet that he now knows “more about trademark law than any sane man would ever want to.” While it is not confirmed, it’s possible that the lawsuit may have contributed to the game’s recent delay. Murray says that the lawsuit was a genuine concern for the studio.

This is the same folks who made Microsoft change Skydrive to Onedrive… so it was pretty serious

No Man’s Sky is one of the most anticipated releases of the year. The space-exploration title is slated to release for the PS4 and PC on August 9th.
