Kotaku has what they say is the letter sent to all the (now former) staff of THQ by CEO Brian Farrell and president Jason Rubin. This outlines how some of the company's assets have been divided, noting that some properties remain unsold, including their publishing operation, Vigil, and some other IPs. Here are the details provided in the letter, which remain unconfirmed at the moment:
- Yesterday morning, we received a competing bid for the operating business, along with Clearlake's offer, and numerous offers for separate assets.
- During an auction process that lasted over 22 hours, the final conclusion was that the separate-asset bids would net more than a single buyer for the majority of the company.
- Shortly, we will, present the results to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, which must concur with our assessment.
- The proposed sales of multiple assets is as follows :
- Sega agreed to purchase Relic
- Koch Media agreed to purchase Volition and Metro
- Crytek agreed to purchase Homefront
- Take 2 agreed purchase Evolve and
- Ubisoft agreed to purchase Montreal and South Park

22 mill for Volitionm, does that include their IP's?
Anyone wondering Kock Media is Deep Silver. REALLY wish Take 2 would have bought Volition, would have loved a Saints Row game with Rockstar Tech.
Yeah I thought it would have been natch for them to want to get their hands on Saints Row. Dunno how well it bodes with Koch getting it. I suppose only time will tell.
Take 2 would have killed SR if they bought it. Why buy your biggest competitor and keep producing it? But SR barely eats into GTAs sales, so why bother at all?
And, personally, I dislike the GTA tech. The graphics are great but the controls feel off to me. Running feels weird, driving feels terrible, and combat is crap relative to SR.
And even if they did make a SR game it'd be 27 hours of taking your homies out for pizza and bowling. |
