so who got saints row?

It went with Volition to Koch Media it was listed as part of the asset along with Volition. Red Faction on the other hand was not in the document...

Volition will continue developing Saints Row 4 and they are not moving their studio according to the head of the developer.

EA didn't bid on anything? Wow...

Yeah, about that: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=509656

Why wasn't that in this article?

Wasn't part of the auction, this is a separate deal being worked out between WWE and EA or 2K or whoever.

I have a feeling EA are in a financial bind at the moment.  Not like THQ-style financial trouble, but enough to make them cautious on any bids.

Worth noting that Activision didn't buy anything either though, and they're swimming in it.

SEGA buying Relic is probably the best thing ever.

Feel bad for Vigil :/. They deserve a buyer. Crytek got Homefront for change o.O

They were already developing Homefront 2, might as well buy the IP and find a new publisher for it or something so all the effort on the game isn't wasted.

Sony should pick up Darksiders.


Sony is currently 16.22 billion in debt. They cant afford to buy even a hot dog stand.

They bought Gaikai for 380 million dollars 6 months ago (almost 4 times what all of THQ sold for).

They've bought lots of things recently. This is just cheap change for them
