Who is this Randy Pitchford ? I don't know all of these names ...
Another example is Nordic games who acquires old IP's, and makes money off other people work. They are also funding new games with unknown studios.
So I don't like it either, but as I said above they now own the games.
Update: Seems this thread is now going to be de-railed with posts about Randy Pitchford. So I'll stop posting new links from now. So have a good-day everyone.

From the epic story of a journey home across the galaxy to massive 8-player multiplayer battles, learn everything there is to know about Homeworld Remastered Collection. The legendary space RTS returns on February 25, 2015
Learn more about the critically acclaimed story of Homeworld 2 in this trailer that highlights the updated audio, visuals, and effects in Homeworld Remastered Collection.
At launch, we’ll have a Steam Workshop tool available that will allow you to upload and download mods, and based on your feedback, we’ll be adding more functionality post-release. Classic mods can also be uploaded, so your original Homeworld 2 Classic mods can be uploaded to the Steam Workshop!
The Homeworld Remastered Collection introduces Relic's acclaimed space strategy games Homeworld and Homeworld 2 to modern players and operating systems using the newest sophisticated graphics rendering technology, plus a fully remastered score and new, high fidelity voice recordings by the original actors, and more!
IncGamers - 9/10Homeworld 1 and 2 were classic real-time strategy games in their original forms, with the exception of some of difficulty issues. The Homeworld Remastered Collection brings the series back in a thoughtful approach that keeps intact the original gameplay experience, while also masterfully recreating the visuals and sound. By utilizing original artists and voice actors, it's clear a great deal of work has gone into bringing the Homeworld series to the modern era of gaming. The epic scale of space battles and awe-inspiring backdrops they take place in make the Homeworld Remastered Collection a must own for real-time strategy fans.
It’s evident a lot of time, effort and care has gone into this release, which should be enough to refute any concerns about Homeworld Remastered being a cash-in. To make an old game feel new is never easy, but that’s what Gearbox has successfully achieved. This is a must-have game, perhaps even if you’ve played the originals.
The Remastered Collection contains both Homeworld and its sequel, but not the Cataclysm standalone expansion pack for Homeworld.
"Unfortunately, the source code for Cataclysm is missing – it was developed by Barking Dog, not Relic Entertainment – which makes it hard to approach in the same way that we remastered Homeworld and Homeworld 2," Martel revealed.
"That said, if fans are passionate about it, we’ll keep investigating ways to at the very least see if we can re-release the classic version. And if anyone out there has the source code handy, let us know!"
