The SF game “No Man’s Sky” will really be called that.
For three years, they were in a “secret, stupid legal dispute,” says developer Sean Murray. Because the British telecommunications and pay-TV company “Sky” holds the rights to the term “Sky,” that is, the sky.
On Twitter, Murray exclaimed, “Yay! We reached an agreement with Sky, we can now call our game No Man’s Sky. 3 years of secret, stupid, legal nonsense are over.”
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

As Murray says, the situation was quite serious. In the same situation, Microsoft was forced to change “Skydrive” to “Overdrive.” On the other hand, Murray jokes that this situation is probably also why Skynet never happens.
No Man’s Sky is set to be released on August 9 for PC and PlayStation 4.
