Sega agreed to purchase RelicKoch Media agreed to purchase Volition and MetroCrytek agreed to purchase HomefrontTake 2 agreed purchase Evolve andUbisoft agreed to purchase Montreal and South ParkWe expect these sales to close this week.
To All THQ Employees:We now have the answers we've been seeking through our financial restructuring andChapter 11 case. While much will be written, here are the facts of the bids and auctionthat 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 wasthat the separate-asset bids would net more than a single buyer for the majorityof the company.Shortly, we will, present the results to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, which mustconcur 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 otherintellectual properties are not included in the sale agreements. They will remain part ofthe Chapter 11 case. We will make every effort to find appropriate buyers, if possible.What this means for employeesWe expect that most employees of the entities included in the sale will be offeredemployment by the new owners. However, we cannot say what these owners mayintend, and there will likely be some positions that will not be needed under thenew ownership. You should receive notice this week or early next week if the newowners intend to extend employment to you. Please note that the terms of your newemployment, including pay and benefits, may be different from the current terms ofyour employment with THQ.If you are an employee of an entity that is not included in the sale, we regret thatyour position will end. A small number of our headquarters staff will continue to beemployed by THQ beyond January 25 to assist with the transition. THQ has sufficientresources to pay these employees for work going forward, and we will be contactingthese employees immediately to ensure their continued employment during thistransition period. We are requesting the ability to offer certain severance pay tominimize disruption for employees of non-included entities as they determine the nextsteps in their careers.We know you will have many questions about this news. We'll be meeting tomorrowwhen we return to talk through this announcement and to answer any questions youhave. You will receive a benefits fact sheet and FAQs with answers to some questionsthat may be on your mind. Please review these materials closely.A personal noteThe 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 haveaccomplished despite today's outcome.It has been our privilege to work alongside the entire THQ team. While the companywill cease to exist, we are heartened that the majority of our studios and games willcontinue under new ownership. We were hoping that the entire company would remainintact, but we expect to hear good news from each of the separate entities that will beoperating as part of new organizations.For those THQ employees who are part of entities that are not included in the sale, weare confident that the talent you have displayed as part of THQ will be recognized as youtake the next steps in your career.Thank you all for your dedication and for sharing your talent with the THQ team. Wewish you the best of luck and hope you will keep in touch.Sincerely,Brian FarrellChief Executive OfficerJason RubinPresident

No one else tried to buy South Park. What does that say about the game?
I dont understand why anyone would pay $26m for Volition especially since how bad Saints Row has done and how they killed Red Faction all within a year
Considering it only sold that many because GTA hasn't been around and theres a GTA game coming out this year, Saints Row will never sell more than 1m again. If that IP is even still existing.
Well considering no one knows who owns the Saints Row IP anymore maybe we should all just shut up and realize a very mediocre developer just got purchased for 26m while high quality developers keep going under. A sad world we live in
Also RIP Virgil. You made one good game, a shite game, a WiiU game then you died (like all WiiU third party devs)

Only it's not. Relic is so valuable because Games Workshop is extremely protective of the 40k license. Owning Relic means you'd be in a good position to acquire the rights to the 40k IP since Games Workshop and Relic have a fantastic working relationship. SEGA and Creative Assembly currently have the rights to make Warhammer fantasy games. SEGA having both would put them in an amazing position to make a lot of money because there's a lot you can do with those IPs outside of RTS games.

So they made a bid but 2k really like what they saw, apparently and scooped it up.

2 has a more fleshed out game, though. more to do. SR3's main story is better, but it's riddled with side activities and feels too short.
SR3 does NOT have a better story.
Volition's general manager, Dan Cermak, who was in Delaware for the auction, said it appears the studio will remain in Champaign and the future looks "very positive" for Volition under Koch Media. "I haven't had a chance to sit down with (Koch officials) except for a few moments, and they were very positive," Cermak said in an email shortly after the bid results were released. "They love Saints Row and are very happy to own its creator," he said, adding that "Volition is not moving."
SR3's main story is better
