The results of yesterday's auction of THQ have been announced, all the parts have been divvied up, and a letter has been sent out to all THQ employees wishing them luck in their future endeavours and suggesting that they are likely to retain employment with their new employers, though this is not guaranteed.
In an open letter posted to the THQ site, THQ President Jason Rubin has reassured their "global gaming community" that everything is going to be a-okay. At THQ. For now.
After making more than $5 million in the THQ Humble Bundlle (which a portion of will have gone to charity) THQ are considering developing for the Linux OS.
It might be that I was watching events unfold from within the fireplace, but my indie-dev-heavy Twitter feed was ablaze last night with jibes about the new THQ Humble Bundle. Because while buyers found themselves subject to a shockingly good deal - and nobody needs a few spare bob right now like THQ - many simply saw the purveyor of all things indie in bed with a major publisher and found their credibility compasses spontaneously exploding.
Now Humble Bundle have talked a little about their agreement with THQ, and RPS have found them unrepentant.
