yeah but at least they got a lot of the original crew together to make it

It was originally just called "Shipbreakers" with the same visual/audio style because Blackbird didn't own the IP

Gearbox bought the IP and was like "yo, it's cool guys. Put Homeworld on it, that poo poo's legit"


kind of a cool move on their part idk
