Ahhhhhhh I think I get it now. From the comments I guess that even these earnest responses are mansplaining because in actuality the article is a troll, and everyone knows where the name comes from. The point is to get a a bunch of guys to come in here and explain it to people who already know.

Are we being fucking serious right now? The “man” in No Man’s Sky is there because that’s how we’ve always referred to the entire human race. “MANkind.” “huMAN.” Hell, even “woMAN.” “Man” in the name for something doesn’t always mean a “woMAN” is being left out. For fuck’s sake...come down off the cross, use the wood…

Women don’t play video games, silly!
