Where the hell did Gearbox get the money to buy the IP :psyduck: ?! How much money did Sega give them? Did the Borderlands games really sell that well?

Can't imagine the Homeworld IP is worth a ton of money, it was a cult game. THQ bought it for only a few million I recall back before they imploded.

Also most of the people responsible for Homeworld are gone from Relic, Blackbird games has some of the original team working on their spiritual sequel Shipbreakers.

Could be a lot worse people than Gearbox take a stab at another Homeworld game, imagine if EA, Activation, Crytek, Bethesda got their hands on it.
