THQ selling off game franchises...EA and Activison could buy them

[url=http://kotaku.com/5974080/do-you-want-to-own-the-saints-row-series-or-just-buy-red-faction-bids-for-parts-of-thq-must-be-in-by-january-22?utm_campaign=Socialflow_Kotaku_Facebook&utm_source=Kotaku_Facebook&utm_medium=Socialflow]Source (Kotaku)[/url] This is incredibly sad....at least to me. The thought of EA and/or Activison owning Metro, Company of Heroes, Darksiders, Saints Row, etc. frightens me....because I know they will turn it into -blam!-....EA more so than Activison. What I find interesting is that Saints Row is up for sale. That means that Rockstar could buy it....and then Rockstar would own 2 of the best sandbox games: Grant Theft Auto and Saints Row. If they did buy Saints Row...it would be interesting to see what they would do with it. So how do you think this will all work out? Who do you think will end up with what?

Plus Metro: Last light isn't based off of the book...Metro 2033 was. THQ had to get the rights to make the game...obviously. So who knows...he may or may not. For him...it wouldn't make much of a difference. [/quote] I thought there was another book Last Light was based off but I don't know cause I don't read[/quote] Nope....the only Metro book is Metro 2033. [/quote] Incorrect. Dmitry did write a Metro 2034, however it does not feature Artyom or any other 2033 characters and, to my knowledge, it has not been translated to English yet.
