The recent flood damage done to the office of No Man’s Sky creator Hello Games will not be covered by the companies insurance.
A series of Tweets from the developer’s official Twitter account revealed the news.
Hello Games’ studio was flooded on Christmas Eve after a nearby river broke its bank, resulting in the loss of computers, equipment, furniture and personal items.
BAD NEWS! Had a ‘hilarious’ call with insurer yesterday. Small print is if you are in a flood risk zone, you are not insured for flooding 🙁

It’s not just us but our neighbours as well – some people *live* in those houses. At least we get to go home at night…

On a brighter note, no insurance means we can just wade in and start setting things straight! Hello Games assemble!
