Now that I have your attention, What do you think about this?

Since it's essentially the Kharakian wars... I wonder if with the support they'd leave that Fecebook garbage behind and use another service...

So this is the same exact game as before, except with Homeworld names sprinkled in everywhere? This had me so excited until I started reading things, please don't do this to me. :(

This is one more reason to utterly destroy copyright legislation as it stands.

What an abomination.

The capacity of gamers for preemptive disappointment never fails to amaze.

I really don't expect anything of value to come from this.

 
yeah the_e it'll probably completely avoid all of the endemic and fundamental problems of the f2p facebook game model and be brilliant, we should stop being such haters
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

To be fair I haven't seen any official source saying that there would even be facebook integration, but what with the whole MWO fiasco a f2p game in another one of my favorite universes isn't exactly high on my wishlist.

MWO failed because PGI is bad at user feedback.

Gearbox isn't that terrible, at least as far as I'd heard.

 
Shipbreakers isn't being made by Gearbox.

Oh hey, look at that

Shorter version: Gearbox will give them money so it doesn't have to be f2p anymore

It is good to see the license reunite with the talents that suits it best. Something to look forward to.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

SpardaSon21: it seems like you exist in a permanent state of half-joking misanthropy

Darius: ah!
Darius: yes, i like that
MatthTheGeek: the way you just spelled it it means fat
Awaesaar: +accent I forgot how to keyboard
MatthTheGeek: or grease
Darius: the killing fat!
Axem: jabba does the coup de gras
MatthTheGeek: XD
Axem: bring me solo and a cookie

 
That's actually a pretty great outcome.

I'm sure someone will eventually cut the relevant portions out of the stream and repost them to youtube.

There's also going to be a big "Community Day" for Gearbox sometime in September where we'll get more info.

I'm actually looking forward to all of the HD versions of HW, I'll buy those in an instant in Steam.

This "Shipbreakers" "HW3" or wtv stuff... heh. I don't trust these guys to make the proper sequel. I just can't take away the cynic in me I guess.
