THQ goes bankrupt - Sega gets Relic, Gearbox gets Homeworld, Deep Silver gets Metro and Saints Row

[mikaelis]

fucking pederasts, Whyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[DalekFlay]

As someone else said, I can't think of a worse company to get those rights. I'm not big on strategy so I'm not going to cry about, but if you seriously made a joke topic asking which would be the WORST developer to get Homeworld Gearbox would have been mentioned and brofisted.

So apparently the two highest bidders after gearbox were paradox and stardock.

Oh for fuck sake. I need a drink.

Ahahahahaahaahaa, those kickstarter idiots thought they'd get Homeworld license for 50k? Either they were stupid as hell or scammers hoping for people not to ask their money back.

Didn't they get much more than 50k on the KS?

Asked for 50k and got 58k.

Dodged a bullet there. One sells you 10% of the game at full price then chokes you with paid DLC. The other cannot into making games at all -- see elemental/fallen enchantress.

I mixed them up with someone then. I remembered a million or so.

Anyway, all those suckers who pledged for them are dumbass idiots, who deserve to be stripped from their money.

I checked out the kickstarter for butthurt potential. They set up a site to refund people's money and everyone is calm and cheerful in the comments.

RIP Homeworld.

Who knows, Randy might just want our wallet for half assed 'modern updates' of H1 and H2.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Randy is gonna outsource this shit to some third-world developer and then slap "Gearbox" on it.

Maybe Chris Taylor can beg them to let him make another SupCom. Then again, after SupCom 2...

 

[MetalCraze]

You mean after SupCom 1...

Remember when they created a game where PC gamers could play a PC game and destroy console gamers in their console game?

Now imagine if there was a forum option where the Codexians could post on the Codex and destroy Gearboxians on the Gearbox forum.

[ohWOW]

I think I might replay homeworlds.

 

[DeepOcean]

Those guys are so pathetic, you see when the gaming industry reached rock botton when a game company buy a RTS licence and seriously think about turn it into a FPS because they are too much creatively bankrupt to make even a CoD in the space. Homeworld franchise needs a first person shooter as a human being needs a third leg.
