Well I hear Paradox and Stardock were in the running too; surely they could have had a few more dollars than Gearbox. Mind you, I might be mentally inflating their finances because I'm a fan :shobon:

That said, someone proposed that the following trailer is Paradox's way of saying 'Sorry we didn't get the IP':

Well it sucks that Gearbox got the Homeworld IP, but at least because of this thread I learned about this awesome game. It looks like a mashup of Warship Gunner 2 and Flotilla, which is great. Multi-platform multiplayer support is excellent also.

At least they will port the old games to Steam, and who knows, maybe they will farm out Homeworld 3 to someone who doesn't suck rear end.
