THQ is now gone :( assets were sold during private auction

This sucks, I guess no more UFC Undisputed?
I hope this new company doesn't ruin Metro either..

Metro is actually from what I understand owned by 4A Studios. They just have/had a publishing agreement with THQ.

I think EA snatched UFC up.

I don't know if they got UFC, but they did get the WWF license. They were able to snatch it up like a week before everyone was being auctioned (some clause in the WWF contract with THQ allowed them to leave and not be auctioned I think )

Glad the vigil staff got a job. Sad to see darksiders go but id rather those guys not be unemployed.

Well, the auction is finally over.

I wonder who got what ?

One thing for sure, the guys that did a kickstarter for Homeworld said they didn't get it...

We can all hope that Sega/Relic bought it.

Gearbox announced today that they got Homeworld. As much as I've enjoyed some of Gearbox's games, I call a spade a spade. So, I hope you enjoy buggy AI, because the Borderlands series, their flagship games, has some awful AI!

Darksiders and Red Faction were purchased by Nordic Games, which is actually a holding company that also owns JoWood.

Yup and they talked about making sequels to the IP's they picked up which is nice, they aren't just going to milk the games already made. Their library is fair, it will be interesting to see what they do. Could of went to a much much worse company.

That is a lot of cash for some of these...

The $6.55 million sale of the IP assets breaks down as follows:

$4.9 million from Nordic Games Licensing AB, a Swedish-based video games publisher, for Darksiders, Red Faction, MX vs ATV, Other Owned Software (includes Destroy all Humans!, Summoner and more), and Other Licensed Software (includes Marvel Super Hero Squad, Supreme Commander and more);
$1.35 million from Gearbox Software, LLC, a Plano, Tex.-based developer of interactive entertainment, for Homeworld; and
$.3 million from 505 Games Srl, an Italian video game publisher, for Drawn to Life and Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter.

The company expects the Bankruptcy Court to hear the sales motions on May 13, 2013 and to finalize the sale transactions thereafter.

Whatever they put out can't be worse than any of the homeworld games released in the decade since homeworld 2.
