Relic never disclosed a development budget for Homeworld; no figure appears in Wikipedia's development or reception sections or on MobyGames. Estimated gross: roughly 500,000 copies at the US$44.99 launch MSRP is about US$22 million at full retail (estimate, not officially reported; actual net is lower after retail and publisher shares, bundles and discounts). Adjacent verified figure: Gearbox bought the Homeworld IP at THQ's 2013 bankruptcy auction for US$1.35 million.
