A Dutch company is claiming Hello Games is using its ‘superformula’ without permission in the developer’s upcoming game, No Man’s Sky.
The Dutch Telegraph (as picked up by NeoGaf and confirmed with Google Translate) reports that Tilburg-based company Genicap owns the ‘superformula’ Hello Games is using to generate the billions of planets in No Man’s Sky. The kicker? Hello Games reportedly doesn’t have a license to use it.
“We haven’t provided a license to Hello Games,” Genicap’s Jeroen Sparrow told the publication. "We certainly don’t want to stop the launch, but if the formula is used we’ll need to have a talk.”
