Hmm I take it the Saint's Row IP was sold seperately...

Also THQ Montreal was a steal for Ubisoft, a 300+ head studio plus two in development games.

No mention of the fate of Warhammer 40k license, Saints Row (unless it was included with Volition, but I would expect the price to be higher if that was the case), Red Faction, Homeworld or Darksiders fate yet ether.

Seems Vigil is dead RIP

Edit: welp looks like they got Saints Row in the package, also I just read on GAF platnum games is interested in the Darksiders IP and is looking to hire people from Vigil lol. Still time for the other stuff to be picked up I guess.
