One of my favorite indie games was bought out by Gearbox, the corporation that's behind the Borderlands movie

I think this will negatively affect the game I like, but I'm happy the developers got serious money. I'll find a new indie game, and hope that the next generation of indie devs gets serious bank by selling their game next.

Gearbox is also the developer of the borderlands games. Doesn't seem impossible they'll just let the studio do its thing, and inany case they're far from unrelated to game dev.

Though I'd also be concerned any time something I like is bought by another company.

Yeah, I just thought it'd be funny to imply that's what they're known for, like "Barack Obama, Husband of Michelle Obama"
