I love how one of the first threads is "Don't **** this up!"

Gearbox having their first Homeworld development meeting:

I really hope they don't mess it up, or I hope they mess it up so bad they sell it to Stardock  .

I want Gearbox to succeed but their creditbility has shot down to pretty much nothing after Duke Nukem and ACM.

I am scared that Homeworld will be run down into a hole it can't climb back out.

Is it possible they don't want to actually make a game with but hold on it to see if the increased visibility of the sale will drive the value up so that they can then resell it?  And if the visibility does not pan out they can then attempt to make something with it to recoup losses and then sell the IP again?

If they wanted to do that, you'd never have heard about them buying it. Why sully the brand Gearbox by doing something like that?

Money, it does strange things to businesses as well as people, they could just be greedy.  My opinion here is that more likely someone who is higher up in the game studios really liked the Homeworld series and wants to make something with it to call their own.

Wow, talking about being way off the target...

Why?

He was referring to his unvoiced assumption on who owned the IP.

What's sad is a company that doesn't do RTS outbid Stardock. Had they not stretched we'd be seeing what Stardock could do with the IP

Thanks Psychoak. Exactly...

I know right!!! If Star dock and Paradox, known for space based RTS games and came short in the number 2 and 3 respectively in their bidding. Just how much (plus the kitchen sink), did they drop on Homeworld..?
