People didn't bid on Vigil but the Darksiders IP will probably be picked up. As that article points out, buying Vigil would represent a loss for quite awhile. Darksiders II just came out, it would be years before it would be a profitable acquisition, and then you're taking a risk on their next game, which is in preliminary stages.
Everyone was looking at it as a big risk, most likely, besides being a short term money sink. It's a shame but it's kind of understandable given where they are at in production.
