Poate ar fi fost mai corect sa spun ca a fost "cumparat", dar imi place sa cred ca acest lucru s-a realizat in ideea de a salva seria Darksiders. Pe scurt, dupa ce au dat faliment cei de la THQ si s-au vandut mare parte din IP-uri, Darksiders a cam ramas "pe tusa"... niciun studio nedorind sa liciteze pentru el. Au fost zvonuri ca sunt interesati cei de la Crytek USA (care dealtfel au si angajat mare parte din echipa ex-Vigil Games), dar nu s-a "fructificat" nimic. Asta pana azi, cand am aflat ca Nordic Games (ex JoWooD Entertainment) detin licenta Darksiders, impreuna cu Red Faction, MX vs ATV, Destroy all Humans!, Summoner si Supreme Commander. Totul pentru doar 4.9 milioane de dolari.
Eu zic ca au facut o afacere buna... dar ma sperie gandul ca totusi JoWooD Entertainment este totusi o firma care in 2011 a intrat in faliment. Sa speram ca vor demonstra ca pot face fata. Mai jos aveti si un mic citat de presa:
First and foremost, we are very happy about this deal which also turns over a new leaf for the entire Nordic Games Group. In the long term, we either want to cooperate with the original creators or best possible developers in order to work on sequels or additional content for these titles," said owner and CEO of Nordic Games Group AB, Lars Wingefors, in a statement. "A very important point for us is not to dash into several self-financed multimillion dollar projects right away, but rather to continue our in-depth analysis of all titles and carefully selecting different financing models for developing new installments of acquired IPs.
