Well, that doesn't mean it will be down :P... at least for now, just means it will have time to save the company. So are not completely bad news :).

They'll likely start selling off studios to the highest bidder, Relic might be one of them, but not before they can take a slice of CoH2 pie.

Hope they got better modding community support as THQ <.<. We gotta create some relations to them. RIZZ! Where's my "Increase Relations" button?!

I didnt see a topic on this anywhere else, but apparently sega bought relic. Its probably old news, but i only just read it lol

I dont know how SEGA is overall as a games publisher, but im just glad it was not EA.

Besides clinging to the Sonic title, SEGA has put out the latest Total War games, and that new Aliens one. Not a star-studded record, but I have to agree that it is a lot better than EA. Also, in December they signed a contract with Games Workshop, which was Relic's turf before that. Maybe we should've seen this coming?

I actually remembered reading somewhere that they are trying to integrate COH2 into steam more or something like that, and as we all know steam is a rather mod-friendly place (as we can see with the steam workshop)
