Austin Business Journal Editor Colin Pope said the game’s creator, Chris Roberts, plans to make a comeback here in the Capital City. His start-up, Cloud Imperium Games Corp., has raised $6.2 million from investors for a new game to be developed in Austin.

He plans to repay investors by giving them free add-ons to the game. Find out more in this edition of “Business Now” in the video above.
