So how can we NOT know who owns the IP? If anything the one who bought it should blast the fanfares and hype us "We will do Homeworld 3" .. but this? This is just weird. No info at all? Who would even pay more than $50K for Homeworld? Sure it was an interesting series, but having been dead for a decade there's not much value to it right now. First off, it wasn't $50K, *if* you believe the kickstarter for homeworld. They said they had additional funding. I am guessing it went for $100K minimum.
I am sure that once the court documents are released, we will see who got what, but I have no idea how long that takes.
The game was nice, but, you can make the same type of game cheaper than it would have been to purchase the name, which is why that kickstarter campaign seemed to be really shady.
At least everyone is getting refunds.

They updated:
UPDATE: Dino Ignacio, UI Lead at Dead Space developer Visceral Games, has denied today's story about the end of the Dead Space series.
"The reports of our death were greatly exaggerated," he tweeted. "Please stand by."
Ian Milham, creative director at EA and ex-art director on Dead Space, also took to Twitter to deny the story.
"Almost nothing in that article is true," he wrote. Then, in response to a question on Twitter: "I confirm nothing except the hooey in that story."
EA's US PR team has reportedly called the VideoGamer.com report "patently false".
"While we have not announced sales for Dead Space 3, we are proud of the game and the franchise remains an important IP to EA," an EA spokesperson told Eurogamer.

Linux don't need more crappy games, they need the big guns to come along.
Batman, Prototype, and so on.
Then, they will have a chance.

Do they not know that Relic already released the source code to Homeworld? What is missing is a clear license for the said source code. Would also be cool if THQ just released the whole thing as freeware.
A source code release doesn't include the game assets and even though it's been out for 9 years now no one has done anything at all with the code short of a halfway Linux SDL port. And at this point I don't think THQ is in a position to give away anything their creditors think they can sell for even a few bucks. True, but, nobody can do anything with the source, since the license don't allow it. Heck, the license they used pretty much made it so nobody can use it for anything, except personal use.
Anything else is breaking the terms of the license, which means, it can't be included in any linux distros, even if all the assets were redone.
That is why people have been trying for years to fix it, but THQ never did respond back, so everything is in limbo.

It offers a money back guarantee if they can't get the IP. $50k goal seems a little low, but what do I know about bankruptcy and auctions.
Says that the THQ auction is in multiple rounds, and one of the next ones will sell off additional assets such as homeworld.
Anyone ever heard of this Rob Santos?
Edit:
Hmm, looking over it closer, they won't even give out the homeworld 3 game to contributers unless they get $750k, which seems kinda high. They plan to release original series for free though if they hit $100k.
Not exactly encouraging me to donate here.
They'd have been better off if they SOLD the original series for a very low amount, and gave free copies to donors on this campaign.

Encore? Hmm, sales a little flat from all the lackluster repeating offers? You can say that again. Amazon and other places had games cheaper than steam almost all the time.
Way too many repeats with higher prices on steam.

How 'bout a free DLC that gives the game a better ending? I liked RAGE for the most part, but the ending sucked IMO. There was no kind of final battle or anything and the closing video was really short and uninspiring.. What ending? They ran out of time, and they released a unfinished game.
Now, they want $$$ for this ?
pass.

TLC NAND isn't the real problem. The problem is there is a big problem with 840's bricking themselves.
All anand's units died on him, and also 4 out of 4 died according to a thread at Hardocp.

I expect DX11.1 will suffer the same fate as DX10.1. No developers will actually use it. 
Maybe now they will all start to switch to openGL, that doesn't have such limitations, and you can use the latest openGL features all the way back to XP, assuming the drivers / hardware support it.

This should be a free upgrade for people that already bought it once.
I wonder if the textures will be lower res than the original Doom 3 textures to make it all run on the consoles. Oh well, I'm pretty much done and over with Id. Hope they enjoy their new console fan base. All 10 of them. A free downgrade to lower res textures? What are you thinking?
People will [u]pay[/u] to have lower res textures!
It should be going to the bargin bins pretty darn fast... |

Hmm, I wonder why this company bought the name to Nexuiz? Nexuiz was a free game before with source code under GPL, and cross platform.
This don't seem to be cross platform, so it is a shame.
