Can anyone think of an IP that was made better AFTER it was sold?

What about fallout. I would say fallout 3 was better than 1 or 2.

Most compelling example yet.

Any info on how much the core dev team changed? I know Interplay sold it because they fell on hard times --  it may also be that the core staff behind the original Fallout came to Bethesda following the sale.
