TeamPixel announced on Kickstarter that they didn't secure the rights to the Homeworld IP through their Save Homeworld campaign and will now refund everyone who backed the project.
I really hope the new owners will re-release the original games on gog.com. I have the box of the game right next to me in the office but a digital copy would be wonderful.
Homeworld will escape the THQ bankruptcy to a new home, however, that home will not be with teamPixel, LLC. The auction for the Homeworld license ended April 15, 2013, and while we reached qualified bidder status for the bankruptcy auction, we were unable to raise the necessary funds to remain competitive against the other parties at the auction. We hope you will join us in supporting Homeworld's new owners in building a future for the franchise. We anticipate an announcement of the new owner to be made within a couple weeks and for the sale to be finalized around mid-May. Words cannot describe how honored we are to have been supported by so many in the community.
