I would imagine that THQ Nordic does get a cut of Game Pass, but not for these games. The console versions of these games have nothing to do with THQN, just the PC versions.
Typically THQ Nordic AB only handles physical distribution of Sega's games through Koch Media, but Yakuza Kiwami is actually published by Deep Silver in Europe, both digital and physical. You'd have to look into importing with that one. All other Yakuza are digitally THQ free.
Deep Silver doesn't publish all Atlus games in Europe, but those they do, same deal as Kiwami. Or at least that's the case with Catherine and Persona 5.
You can check the digital publisher yourself right under the title of the game on https://store.playstation.com/
Getting the games used is always a decent compromise.
why my friend? i can think of worse things so your post seems a bit odd in this thread.
No, the Metro games were published and funded by Deep Silver, which is owned by Koch, which is owned by THQ Nordic. If you want to boycott every company even remotely associated with the AMA, you need to boycott the Metro games too.

So much this. The priorities some people have are INCREDIBLY telling.
This is a useful thread. With all the acquisitions they made, I had no idea what the full scope of games being published by them.
Hey guys, after reading a lot of great responses in this thread I felt informed enough that I could try my hand at tackling this topic on my latest Shenmue podcast.
A lot of Shenmue fans may be hearing about talk of boycotts on their favorite game but might not have a grasp on the whole story.
I hope I presented the situation accurately and fairly.

Please let me know if I messed up anything so I can correct it next time.

They are independent companies. You can even look up the shareholders.
However, they do have a business partnership of some kind.
Sega also is independent, If you are going to boycott you boycott every revenue and for example they publish Atlus and some Sega games in Europe.
I don't know why you are trying to catch me out. I was just giving a description of what's going on.
And for the record, I haven't bought a Deep Silver published SEGA game since SMT IV, and have no intention of doing so in the future. Although my personal position is still to buy SEGA games if THQ have nothing to do with it (like say, their PC releases), if people want to extend that to a complete boycott of all business partners that's their choice.
Just... don't mislead people by saying shit like Paradox (or SEGA for that matter) is owned by Koch media
Of course, but Marketing is very likely to be handled by them, that's the point.
I don't understand the doubts, looking at the previous pages the consensus was everything or nothing, seems like this game is too good to be ignored or something
Paradox distribute some games at physical retail by Koch Media. All digital games are sold by Paradox and koch media is not involved.

I know that.
EDIT: Your post was edited. I guess you originally quoted me by mistake.
Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but I was under the impression that the dominating opinion was to boycott all games THQ have any direct involvement with (so, not buying Atlus games in Europe for example, but buying SEGA games on PC, or Atlus games in the US is still fine). The OP even tries to separate physical from digital and indicates that some things are region specific.
As for this game, my rule still applies: Don't buy VtM2 physical in Europe. That's the one Koch have anything to do with.
