![]() After Darkjsiders II bombed in terms of revenue making, they literally were down to whatever WWE 13 made in money to fund everything else for next year. All other big projects either were delayed or cancelled because of money problems. Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 12-19-2012 at 05:11 PM. |

According to the filing THQ sent, they owe the WWE $45 million and supposedly Vince is furious that there is good chance the WWE won't get that money back.
WWE also had to send a press release to reassure their own stockholders that THQ's mess won't affect their own finances. Also are currently considering other options should THQ not be able to make the next WWE game. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-1...-cfo-quit.html http://www.cagesideseats.com/2012/12...cmahon-furious |

Oh god. Can you imagine if WWE demand a game to come out in 2013 and it's not from THQ? That would be spectacularly bad.

If you buy out a company's assets you also inherit their debts. WWE should be able to get that money. At least I think they should. WWE had to pay off ECW's creditors to be able to use the name of the brand.

Well if Ubisoft gets the rights, and WWE signs back JoMo, they have their next Assassin's Creed lead.

Ubisoft is only rumoured to be interested and only in certain properties. I'm not sure anyone's likely to take over the full company in the future.

I imagine they will try and make it as awesome as possible since it will likely be THQ's swan song and a chance to make a splash with potential companies to hire them to continue the franchise instead of starting a new one.

THQ sale to Clearlake Capital Group ended up getting blocked and none of the other rumored buyers are willing to purchase THQ like CCG was. Also means THQ is currently out of the $60 million they would have received had the deal been approved.

Auction set for January 22 after THQ settles with upset creditors/investors who caused the sale to Clearlake Capital Group to be blocked.
EA, Ubisoft, and Warner Bros expected to buy most of the IPs once the auction begins and EA still is the favorites for getting the WWE series. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/looks-...f-anyway/4507/ |

Let's have a whip round and buy one of their unloved franchises. There has to be one that no-one else could possibly want.

I'd like a monkey wrench thrown in and have Rockstar try to buy the WWE license.

I'd be fine if EA Sports did it and they wouldn't even have to change the name of the series either as it goes along with all of their other franchises.
