Isnt darksiders one of the reasons THQ went bankrupt (as it wasnt the success they hoped for)? So why would anyone want that IP?


No way,  Darksiders II just couldn't pull THQ from the disaster of releasing the uDraw on the PS360.  THQ got greedy after seeing the results of the uDraw and thought they could replacate the success on the Wii for the PS360.  Instead it was a financial disaster that they couldn't recover and led to their shut down.  http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-02-02-thq-details-full-extent-of-udraw-disaster

But then it looks like Darksiders II sold maybe 1.5 million units across all platforms - hardly that impressive for such a game.
