"Joke's on them," says No Man's Sky lead as rival survival game confirms it's replacing an eerily familiar cosmetic
Once Human continues to persevere in what is a super competitive time for survival games, with developer Starry Studio rolling out some big new features in recent months. A new class system, the PvP-focused Raid Zone, and even a crossover with survival rival Palworld have all arrived. This steady stream of new additions is great to see, but like any free PC game wanting a long and prosperous life on Steam, an even faster flow of microtransactions is required. However, one decoration item found in its new loot crates has led to accusations of directly imitating an asset found in No Man's Sky. While Hello Games head Sean Murray light-heartedly tells Starry Studio that the "joke's on them," the Once Human dev is now taking action. In a statement provided to PCGamesN, it confirms it is removing the problematic item from the game.
