Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah. Short of nobody buying the stuff and subsequently casting the rights into legal limbo, that's pretty much the worst case scenario. The best thing Nordic Games will do with those games would be to put them on GOG, any attempt to produce sequels will probably go as well as the Painkiller sequels (i.e. they will be shite). I'm surprised that Homeworld is the only IP more than one company bidded on, since I expected some interest in Red Faction and Darksiders, not just a company that obviously put in minimum bids to everything for teh lolz.
