No Man's Sky

[Craig]

i would love to play with my friends so i have a hope you can get into a lobby before you start for the first time and all go in together so we have a chance to be with our friends.

Nope. When you start, you spawn in a far flung planet, and you'll likely never meet up with your friends, ever.

Ik its so sad. But whi can be sad when you can play the game for the reat of your life.

I saw a recent game play with one of the developers and...wow. I read the article in Game Informer many months ago. I was already excited, but the game play I saw.. So much to do! So much exploration! I don't even care if I see my friends, the sheer scale of the universe.. It's amazing! I cannot wait, even the way you learn new languages on a planet and such. Awesome!

Release date pushed back to August.

worth it if the game remains how it was, or better.

How did we ever get to this.

When ignorance and stupidity rule, that's how. :/

Was that the cause for delay?

Assuming the trademark laws are similar to the US trademark laws, the owner (Sky TV in this case) must actively defend their trademark, or it will be taken from them. So every now and then they have to dig up someone using the name for any purpose and take them to court over the use of it. Basically the law mandates that they file frivolous law suits.

That is honestly one of the stupidist things I have ever heard.

If I am getting this right, If I own the trademark for a company called "The", I can, And am legally required to file a lawsuit on things such as "The Lord of The Rings".
Otherwise I lose the rights to my trademark.

Each trademark is approved individually, I doubt they would grant one for a word like "the" but there are some ludicrously common words that they have approved, so it could happen.

But assuming you did get it approved somehow, yeah, you'd have to legally defend it. Otherwise it becomes considered abandoned and goes back up for grabs. It's incredibly silly.

So basically, it's like let's say Runescape? If you don't play your character for a while, they up and delete it which allows your name to be used by another. In a sense.

They haven't said. But I was wondering as much. Because the original release date passed before that tweet, and obviously they wouldn't have been able to release until that issue was settled, so it quite possibly was the reason. Probably for the best, gives them 2 more months or however long the extension was to make the game better.

New trailer hype!

[Jack Of Shades]

This is what I enjoy about this upcoming game. They took the time to add wonderful aspects to the game. I hope they deliver everything they've shown us. I will be pleasantly pleased with the end product.
