Gearbox has purchased the Risk of Rain IP from Hopoo Games

To be extra clear, it seems this is just Risk of Rain, not all of Hopoo. As for whether Hopoo will still be working on the game, it seems the answer is no.
Honestly, I'm really disappointed about this. I said it elsewhere, but I'd really rather have had it that Risk of Rain never got content again than this. I don't want Gearbox or any other huge corporation owning the IP of games I cherish — it never ends well.
Oh, man, I hope this is not bad news for RoR, and for RoR2 on consoles…
I was really looking forward to seeing what the boys were cooking up for DLC2. That's a shame. Survivors of the Void was a lot of fun.
