So outside of Blizzard and the 1-2 games they release a decade, Sega is basically the RTS industry now.
Barring EA getting their act together with Command and Conquer, yeah, Sega seems like RTS gods right now.

So... Crytek acquires Homefront, and before the auction EA supposedly acquired the WWE licenses last week right?

Patrick Klepek was saying differently on last week's Bombcast. If you're right, then that's great.
They might own the ip but not the publishing rights to those ip on consoles.
Wow. Koch could become a big player if they market those two right.He just tweeted that Koch Media gets Metro as well.

Is Koch Media in anyway related to the billionaire Koch brothers?
Who the hell is Koch Media?
Okay, so based on the reports from Manveer's twitter, we have:
- Ubisoft acquires South Park: Stick of Truth and THQ Montreal
- Take2 acquires Turtle Rock's project
- Sega acquires Relic
- Koch Media acquires Volition
- No one wants Vigil
Is that it right now?
This would fucking suck.

Patrick is wrong. They stated several times that they own everything but Iron Brigade and they currently hold the trademarks to both Costume Quest and Stacking
Bought it for Darksiders. They don't need the people apparently.
Do we have any confirmation that SEGA bought Relic? I want to make a separate thread about that.

Yeah I'm also sadFuck me Vigil is dead? Darksiders is dead? Fucking helllllll.
Who got Metro Last Light?
LOL wat.He just tweeted that Koch Media gets Metro as well.

It's really better than the other option like Ubi or EA.
at least Deep Sliver uses steamworks for their PC titles and got decent marketing too.
Dead Island was a pretty damn good game and made full use of Steamworks as well. Don't really see a problem with them publishing SR4.
What? Nooooooooooooooooo....
They BETTER get AKI/Syn Sophia to develop it.

I suspect they got screwed by the fact their game just released; were they actually working on anything?
Koch Media apparentlyAny word on what's going on with Metro?
To All THQ Employees:
We now have the answers we've been seeking through our financial restructuring and
Chapter 11 case. While much will be written, here are the facts of the bids and auction
that occurred:
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
- We expect these sales to close this week.
Some assets, including our publishing businesses and Vigil, along with some other
intellectual properties are not included in the sale agreements. They will remain part of
the Chapter 11 case. We will make every effort to find appropriate buyers, if possible.
What this means for employees
We expect that most employees of the entities included in the sale will be offered
employment by the new owners. However, we cannot say what these owners may
intend, and there will likely be some positions that will not be needed under the
new ownership. You should receive notice this week or early next week if the new
owners intend to extend employment to you. Please note that the terms of your new
employment, including pay and benefits, may be different from the current terms of
your employment with THQ.
If you are an employee of an entity that is not included in the sale, we regret that
your position will end. A small number of our headquarters staff will continue to be
employed by THQ beyond January 25 to assist with the transition. THQ has sufficient
resources to pay these employees for work going forward, and we will be contacting
these employees immediately to ensure their continued employment during this
transition period. We are requesting the ability to offer certain severance pay to
minimize disruption for employees of non-included entities as they determine the next
steps in their careers.
We know you will have many questions about this news. We'll be meeting tomorrow
when we return to talk through this announcement and to answer any questions you
have. You will receive a benefits fact sheet and FAQs with answers to some questions
that may be on your mind. Please review these materials closely.
A personal note
The work that you all have done as part of the THQ family is imaginative, creative,
artistic and highly valued by our loyal gamers. We are proud of what we have
accomplished despite today's outcome.
It has been our privilege to work alongside the entire THQ team. While the company
will cease to exist, we are heartened that the majority of our studios and games will
continue under new ownership. We were hoping that the entire company would remain
intact, but we expect to hear good news from each of the separate entities that will be
operating as part of new organizations.
For those THQ employees who are part of entities that are not included in the sale, we
are confident that the talent you have displayed as part of THQ will be recognized as you
take the next steps in your career.
Thank you all for your dedication and for sharing your talent with the THQ team. We
wish you the best of luck and hope you will keep in touch.
Sincerely,
Brian Farrell
Chief Executive Officer
Jason Rubin
President
Devil's Third hasn't been associated with THQ in a while. Last thing we heard was that Valhalla partnered up with Doobic for some kind of PC/[tablet] version.
