Today we have some major news to announce.
Intel has acquired Offset Software. Yes, you read it correctly!
Project Offset is going strong and we are excited about things to come.
Stay tuned.

Here is a look at the Closed Alpha for the game in action.
Keep in mind that regardless of your stance or interest in this, be it good or bad; the ToS agreement makes it so you can't leave negative reviews once accepted.
Land on any planet in Star Citizen currently and you’ll be greeted by things like weather patterns, flora, and very possibly a derelict or two. What you won’t find are any animals, however. That’s going to change with alpha 3.23’s release, as CIG has finally put together two animals to populate certain planets. That’s not quite three, but it’s more than one!
Two brand-new animals? Fantastic. This game should be ready by the time the Vault Dwellers come out from their Vaults Two Hundred years after the Apocalypse.
Any minute now...
Game Rant can exclusively reveal new gameplay footage from Citadelum, an upcoming city-builder with some serious Age of Mythology vibes.
Wow big news I guess this must mean the Offset Engine really is what every one is wishing it will be.
I also wonder how this will effect the game Project Offset. My guess it will help but it may not too.
I was expecting Project Offset to be a sleeper hit but now since Intel came in it might become a huge game. Not huge in terms of Halo or MGS but big among those who love these kind of games

I had totally forgot about OP, it's an interesting FPS project.
Is Offset Software a game dev or more a general software developer?
I know Intel has been involved in 3D engines and other software ventures but I have no idea what this news means to gaming, or even to the Project Offset game specifically.
Any ideas why this news would actually be interesting? (don't mean that facetiously)
I'm sorry but I'm glad Sam is happy but all I see now is a game that will take even longer to release, probably PC exclusive to tie into one of Intel's horrible processor campaigns and how it will require a 50 core 9.9gigamegahertz processor(only from Intel) to play it.
Damn, this is some bad news taken at face value. Intel is not a freakin publisher and they have no experience running a game house. I'm still hopeful but I'm starting to feel like the last years of watching and waiting for this game to hit the 360 where nothing but a waste of time.
