Hi guys! THQ, the soon to be former publisher of South Park: The Stick of Truth, has gone underwater, and their assets to be sold. According to recent reports, the assets are to be sold piece-wise, that is title-by-title.

What does the mean for South Park? THQ doesn't own The Stick of Truth, Obsidian Entertainment, or the Intellectual Property. It simply owns the rights to publish the game. This means that the publishing rights are likely to be sold.

Recent rumors suggest that Microsoft is likely to step up to the plate. Microsoft already has a fantastic relationship with South Park Studios, as outlined in the linked article. The article also suggest that the PS3 version could be nixed.

So in short, I think our game is fine. Although, the tidbit about the PS3 version is not in positive light. What do you think about these recent developments?
