Classic PC Franchise Quietly Purchased For $7500

By |

Freespace was the worldā€™s last great space combat series, a genre you may not even be aware of if youā€™re under the age of 20.

Yet itā€™s still quite active today; the amazing Battlestar Galactica mod Diaspora is built on Freespace 2ā€™s engine.

Given its popularity, reverence and continued practical uses, it seems insane to me that publishers Interplay have been able to very quietly sneak in and buy the rights to the series for $7500 from creators Volition and the bones of THQ.

Seriously, $7500? I could have saved up and done that. That seems insanely cheap. Well, good for them. Iā€™m looking forward to Freespace 2: HD on Steam in 2014, followed swiftly by the ā€œFreespace 2: HD becomes most profitable title in Interplay historyā€ press release.
