* WhatCouldHaveBeen: ''Deserts of Kharak'' was originally ''Hardware: Shipbreakers'', a free-to-play MMORTS for mobile platform centered on salvaging artifacts hidden all over a planet. However, they were running out of budget. Fortunately, THQ dissolved and Gearbox managed to acquire ''Homeworld'' property and contracted BBI (that have some of original Homeworld staff in it), turning the game into ''Homeworld: Shipbreakers'' and then ''Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak'' as it is now.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: An unusual case. ''Deserts of Kharak'' was originally ''Hardware: Shipbreakers'', a free-to-play multi-platform MMORTS for mobile platform centered on crews of mercenary "shipbreakers" salvaging shipwrecks and artifacts hidden all over a planet. However, they were running out mostly-desert planet, where each player controlled a single fleet's operations. With a crew of budget. Fortunately, THQ dissolved and Gearbox managed to acquire ''Homeworld'' property and contracted BBI (that have some of original former Homeworld staff in it), turning developers at the game into ''Homeworld: Shipbreakers'' helm, the inspiration was clear... but it'd never gain the Homeworld title, as that belonged to [=THQ=], and then ''Homeworld: Deserts they had little interest in the [=RTS=] market. Then [=THQ=] closed down. Gearbox proceeded to snap up the Homeworld property, got in touch with Blackbird Interactive, and so ''Shipbreakers'' became ''Deserts of Kharak'' as it is now.Kharak''.
