Gearbox Software, https://www.gearboxsoftware.com/about/history/: „Who could have known all the way back in 1999 that the release of Half-Life: Opposing Force would be the start to something so amazing? With just a handful of super-dedicated people putting in an insane amount of effort, energy, love, and passion, they were able to put out a fantastic expansion pack. Half-Life: Opposing Force gave players a truly unique perspective – experiencing the events of Half-Life as a member of U.S. Marine forces, sent in to quell all alien threats and silence all witnesses.”
Gearbox Software, https://www.gearboxsoftware.com/about/history/: „The first few years for Gearbox Software found us primarily working within the Half-Life universe with titles such as Half-Life: Counter-Strike, Half-Life: Blue Shift, and even porting Half-Life to the Playstation 2. When we needed to take a break from Black Mesa, we released a few other great games: Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 for PC, James Bond 007: Nightfire, and even put out Halo: Combat Evolved for the PC.”
