Just as I was writing today’s news digest, this came through the wire (thanks Shellfishguy on Quarter to Three for making me aware of it). According to this post on the Gearbox website, they’ve acquired the IP to Homeworld. According to the short post:
Gearbox Software has prevailed as the highest bidder in the acquisition of the Homeworld franchise from THQ. Brian Martel, Gearbox Software’s Chief Creative Officer, has great love and respect for Relic’s brilliant, fun and innovative game and personally spearheaded the acquisition.
Brian intends as first priority to direct Gearbox’s interest to preserve and assemble the purest form of the original acclaimed and beloved games, Homeworld and Homeworld 2, with the intent of making them accessible on today’s leading digital platforms.
I’m not sure how to react to this. What do y’all think?
