Gamecock, Gathering of Developers founders re-emerge as Devolver Digital

First spotted by Big Download this morning, tucked away in the Serious Sam XBLA remake news, Wilson confirmed his and Miller's involvement in the startup telling our sister site, "We're basically acting as the production company for the XBLA game, since we are not an official MSFT publisher yet, and will be publishing the PC version of the games." Video game historians will recall that Gathering of Developers published the original Serious Sam in 2001 and Croteam retains the intellectual property rights, giving them the ability to work with Wilson and Miller on this latest incarnation of the blow-up-big-things simulator. Majesco is serving as publisher of the XBLA release, which will be released "late summer" for 1200 Microsoft Points ($15).

I was gonna crack an epic joke on this.
But no.
I'm gonna be the gentleman of the commenters this time and just say: "This is stupid."

Yay! Wilson and company is back to rip off more gullible investors.

Shit by another name is still shit.
Martin @ Jun 25th 2009 3:16PM
Does anybody really care about these announcements? It seems to me these companies are formed and folded in rapid succession.

3DRealms folds, founder creates 4DRealms.

ok, no sign of dumbass frat boy mentality so far. I'll give them chance.

Will this one be as famous for just prating about and sub par games?
J.Goodwin @ Jun 25th 2009 6:28PM
Oh no, not again.
Hopefully developers have learned all they need to know about these fraudsters.

How are they fraudsters? They give money to developers to make games--there's no loss in that for a developer. And their existence ensures more developers get to make games.

So, basically, these guys have already gone through the money made from the Gamecock transaction and are back for more.
