They published the PC version of Alan Wake. (The physical release, anyway.)
This is the most depressing buyout I've ever witnessed. Hope you guys weren't expecting the franchises to live on. Since I've given up all hope.
Also drawn to life for 3 million?
Can't believe that was so sought after.
Gearbox is bound to do somethingwith Homeworld.shitty
.3 million. Not 3 million.
$.3 million. $300,000, in other words. Pocket change.
[edit] I acknowledge I have been beaten by Duckroll.
At the very least they are willing to release the originals on DD. Speaking as someone who never played them but heard a lot about them, I'd say that's better than nothing.Gearbox is bound to do somethingwith Homeworld.shitty
So does this pay off the debt that THQ had or were they better off selling to that company Jason Rubin wanted to sell to?
Nordic Games owns JoWooD, Dreamcatcher, and The Adventure Company.
So did no one buy the de Blob license?
They're a regional publisher.
They probably wanted the IPs primarily for legacy sales.

So Darksiders will now be at best some crappy F2P bullshit?
Im guessing Nordic games will flip that stuff separately later.
Weren't there 6 lots? So 3 of them did get any bids? Or did Nordic buy 4 lots?
I don't think they're going to be able to "flip" anything. If someone seriously wanted any of these IPs to make a game with, they would have gotten them. These are rock bottom prices. Nordic is probably just going to sit on the IPs and make money from legacy titles sales over the years, which could be a decent investment.

With how Darksiders 2 sold I'm not surprised there was no interest. The IP really is worthless without the talent at Vigil behind it.

Nordic Games?
Their website is so bad I can't figure out what games they've published.
Nordic and 505 won bids? Holy shit the major publishers didn't give a shit about this auction, did they?
Holy Shit: 505 got a sweet deal out of this. Drawn to Life are always million sellers so that is successful business.
