I thought this, too. Can anyone clear this up?
Who bought Red Faction, Darksider and WWE License?
Turtle Rock is still around? I thought they became part of Valve during the development of L4D.
I've had good experiences with Sega recently (Binary Domain), but what exactly is the reason for this sentiment? (other than hell yeah: company of heroes 2 lives)
what happens with the WWE licence?
www.f4wonline.com said:WWE/THQ update is
Well, nothing official. Officially, nothing was said publicly, for a variety of reasons regarding the WWE video game license, although it will be very soon.
There is a deal in place but all the paperwork hasn't been completed. It is not with EA.
...
The WWE license was not part of the auction but is a separate entity and all information requiring its sale has been kept within very few in the company.
Great to hear!! Good fit and good publisher.
Wierd....really weird. Not sure about this.
Why would they even bother? Didn't homefront bomb?
Great that turtle rock is doing ok.
Eeeesh.... I hope this doesn't mess South Park up too badly.
Damn shame. Huge damn shame. Haven't played their games but I've heard good things. Best of luck to all of them.
I wonder what that guy who left Ubisoft who now works for Ubisoft again thinks about that, haha.
They had an out clause and are set to announce something soon apparently.
This was just posted on f4wonline.com (Figure 4 Wrestling/Wrestling Observer website)
IGN reporting Take2 also buying Vigil, are they misinformed?

Red Faction = Volition = Koch Media
Darksiders = Vigil = No one
WWE License = Not THQ's to auction = Rumored WWE gave it to EA
I think some people are mixing studios and IPs. Just because Koch Media got Volition doesn't mean they bought Saints Row as well.

It doesn't seem they did. The IPs and licenses that got sold were mentioned by name in the announcement.I think some people are mixing studios and IPs. Just because Koch Media got Volition doesn't mean they bought Saints Row as well.

Why does it say "Take 2 agreed purchase Evolve and"
Was there something else TT bought?
Or is it just "and" continues to Ubisoft

Correct, Crytek UK is working on it. (Formerly known as Free Radical.)If I'm not mistaken, Crytek was already working on the sequel for THQ. I bet THQ owed them money and pretty much called giving them the IP and rights to settle their debt and now Crytek can continue development on their own.
People from vigil migrating to other Austin based studios?
I think the reception and the sales of Darksiders 2 didn't do Vigil any favors, I am sorry to say.

Other than the reasons already given -- also relief that EA didn't buy them and cause a Westwood Part II situation.I've had good experiences with Sega recently (Binary Domain), but what exactly is the reason for this sentiment? (other than hell yeah: company of heroes 2 lives)
If I'm interpreting what I'm reading correctly, since nobody bid for Vigil now THQ is going to try to sell them on their own? Is there hope?
THQ auction results: 26M for Relic (Sega), 2.5M for Montreal (Ubisoft), 11M for Evolve (Take-Two), 22.3M for Volition (Koch Media)... 500k Homeland (Crytek), 5.8M for Metro (Koch Media), South Park for 3.2M (Ubisoft)
