World of Tanks studio acquires Gas Powered Games

Hmmm, do they really need 2 studios? I didn't think world of tanks was that popular...

Dammit Eddie, once again I have to correct your POS copy&paste articles- it's "Wildman" not "Wild Man" man. 

In other thoughts- I do hope this doesn't constrain GPG' creativity in any way. Hoping for the best-but we all know what this could mean in the back of our heads.

Damn, I knew the 'World of' games were popular but I had no idea they were doing this well, good on them though.

I'll focus on the positive:

Chris Taylor hasn't realized his potential since he started Gas Powered Games.  Total Annihilation is still his high point and that was with Cavedog.  Partnering with another company and not running the entire operation  might be just what he needs.  

I won't mention the potential negative (utter ruin) because it is obvious and likely.

What will happen with the Supreme Commander IP? :-\

incoming F2P demigod? that would be pretty cool

It's amazing what a small company from Belarus achieved with a F2P mmo! 

i hope to see supcom 3 one day, just make sure its not like supcom 2; go back to your roots.

I remember meeting Chris Taylor at EB Games in Redmond, WA back when Dungeon Siege 1 came out; he was there to sign copies of the game.

Memories..... :)

Yeah, they needed 'em to keep all those Tanks going.

Yay :D I'm so happy! I pledged $150 toward Wildman and have done everything else in my power to try and make Wildman a reality and save GasPoweredGames. I hope they make a pure RTS in collaboration with Wargaming. I can't wait to play whatever they develop!

They could do Demigod 2  F2P ?

The game was actually called "Wildman" and not "Wild Man".

Good news, GPG and Chris would be in good hands with other PC devs/publishers.

acquired Day 1 Studios and Gas Powered Games almost at the same time, 

that's quite an achievement

So this is the big tight lipped secret Chris was talking about. Well good for him and for GPG. 

This is huge, HUGE news! I'm so excited! Oh my God, I think I'm going to pass out.

...oh, I read that wrong. I thought it said "The McRib to be a permanent addition to the McDonald's menu."

Please, please, PLEASE don't make a Free-to-Play Supreme Commander. I'm so tired of the Free-To-Play phenomenon that ends up either costing WAY more cash than a retail release or eats up all your time GRINDING rather than having fun just to unlock all the features...
