Gamecock No More 14 Oct, 2008 / Comments: 8

By The Tingler


While this isn't as bad news as the title makes it seem, Gamecock as a publisher no longer exists. According to Eurogamer they've been acquired by the slightly richer SouthPeak. They also point out:
The deal's likely to raise a few eyebrows; outspoken Gamecock boss Mike Wilson has often criticised companies releasing games in order to please investors, and SouthPeak became a public company earlier this year.
Hopefully this will mean Insecticide will get proper advertised release next time, or even - gasp - a boxed release. Heck, they might even grab Brütal Legend for all we know, if they're that happy to splash out.

EDIT: Neon_git on the forums noticed this too, and gave a link to Gamasutra who have a little bit more info on the deal. Thanks!

    If this means that I won't be able to buy the second half of the game on-line, I'm officially ANGRY.
    I hope I won't be forced to buy the game again in a retail package, but I'm afraid this is the case.

    What problem would there be to release all kinds of downloadable versions: the second part separately, both parts together etc.?

    Crackpot logo!!! Wee!!!

    So, what does this mean for Insecticide? Is it possible we'll never see the second half of the PC version released?
  • Ascovel on 14 Oct, 2008, 20:14…
    I think Crackpot retained all rights to Insecticide, so at worst it would mean a delayed release.

    Assuming, of course, they can find a partner.

    It couldn't be that hard. The game is basically already made.
