Im at the same point right now. There's been so many acquisitions by THQ Nordic but it's just like, how much more can they acquire before something goes wrong? I don't want anything to go wrong at all, like I'm so happy they got KoA but still, Im just slightly worried that they may be doing *too much*
I believe only re-releases and remasters until Darksiders 3 comes out.
i see
hmm. Wonder how they're doing then if they can afford to keep buying studios.

Bugbear or Nordic? Because I'm definitely one of those people that's worried about the latter dying an ironic death.
Honestly, If I was a billionaire, I'd probably fund a couple game studio as hobby, lol.
They're going own like half of the entire gaming industry in a few years if they keep grabbing IPs at this rate.
Then they'll buy all three console makers!
Microsoft has been publishing those games on Steam. THQ Nordic has a distribution deal for physical copies of these PC ports.
Seriously though, Bugbear is an underrated studio. Flatout Ultimate Carnage and ridge racer unbounded were solid titles, imo.
Looking forward to Wreckfest

Aren't they bankrolled by a billionaire who likes video games and OG THQ people who actually knew how to manage money?
Boy if THQ Nordic runs into money troubles and either Sony or Microsoft buy them. That will be the biggest Humble Bundle ever offered in life (IP wise).
Definately Bugbear.
Has Nordic THQ also suffered from financial problems? Oh no :(

OG THQ has nothing to do with the company. Nordic just bought some of their IP and the brand, later on changing their name to THQ Nordic.
Go look at their investor information instead of reading speculation on here. They look like they're doing fine right now.
Related, has anyone here gotten into the Satisfactory alpha and if so, can I please rub your email account for luck? Thanks.

They have a massive list of Adquisitions and IP's waiting for the update on these two. Jesus.
Edit: Just so you guys know including these two recent acquisitions, THQ has a vault of over 200 IP's now.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they do their own E3 show next year or in 2020. Something like what Devolver did but more serious.
The founder (Lars Wingefors) owns a investment company that also deals in Real Estate. So that should give a pretty good idea on how rich he is.
I see I'm not the only one here who is beginning to raise an eyebrow at THQ Nordic's massive swath of acquisitions... This isn't gonna be another Telltale case, is it? Where in a year they're gonna suddenly drop a "welp we're dead now" and it turns out they never actually had the money and were just biding time for an enormous mega hit to balance the books?
Edit: So there's just a bajillionare behind the scenes throwing money into them? Aight

Could've sworn that some OG THQ people are part of Nordic or Nordic's parent company.
Yes. The ISIN is SE0009241706.
However, since they're listed on one of the smaller exchanges ("First North Stockholm") it's probably hard/expensive to get to if you're not in one of the Nordic countries.
