Hardspace: Shipbreaker developer Blackbird Interactive have nabbed a refreshing win in what feels like an increasingly hostile gaming environment – the team now owns the entirety of its sci-fi scrapyard, having just "reached an agreement" with publisher Focus Entertainment to "reacquire full ownership" of the series.

"That's right! [...] Blackbird Interactive fully owns and controls Hardspace: Shipbreaker," the developer announces in a new post on Steam. "And, as our studio begins this exciting new chapter, Hardspace is going to become a core part of our business strategy going forward."
