Polygon today reports that the UK-based Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is looking into “several complaints about No Man’s Sky’s advertising”.

“I can confirm we have received several complaints about No Man’s Sky advertising and we have launched an investigation,” an ASA representative told the site.

A thread on the No Man Sky’s subreddit seems to detail most of the complaints.

We’ll keep you posted as more becomes known.

Developed by Hello Games and published by Sony, No Man’s Sky is currently available on Windows PC and PS4.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
