Why a lost game was renamed to avoid a trademark battle
In short: Discover the story behind Homeworld: Emergence, a repackaged digital release of the game Cataclysm, which was renamed to avoid a broad trademark claim by Blizzard.
The video explores the release of Homeworld: Emergence on GOG.com, explaining that the title is actually a repackaged version of the game Cataclysm. The name change was necessary because Blizzard holds an overly broad trademark on the term 'Cataclysm'. Furthermore, the game's original source code was declared lost, which explains its absence from the Homeworld Remastered collection.
