Seems like they're creating the illusion of tactical combat using the new gimmick of monstrous space debris, but have oversimplified the controls to make it simpler for what I'll call "mobile gamers." The unit micro is replaced with button mashing abilities, and it's purposely difficult to select units, so you essentially all-in your units for a balanced attrition process.
I would call it a Homeworld Reboot at this point. Rebooted for the normalfag gamer market easily baited by Franchise Assurance. I hear it's also chalk full of microtransactions somehow.

I thought the AI's in the motherships were female.

Steam says Blackbird dev and Gearbox Pub

>>7182
Yes Embracer bought Gearbox, then Embracer recently sold Gearbox to 2K.

>>7183
Why? Sounds like a way to fire people that don't want the game to get butchered.

>>7185
Embracer bought Gearbox because they were on a buying spree and thought they had a big investment coming. It fell through and they had to sell Gearbox and a few other studios and close some others to cut costs

It just seems like a way to justify shakeups and layoffs like they're saving HR the difficulty, to blame it on the new corporate owner's previous policies that would phase things out if they had owned it for years, takes effect upon ownership.
