minus-squaremelonpunk@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·edit-22 years agoNon directly, they own a lot of companies and IP. A LOT. Gearbox, Coffee Stain, Deep Silver, Warhorse, Aspyr, Saber, THQ Nordic, Dark Horse Comics, 3D Realms, Volition, Ghost Ship Games.

minus-squareThe Velour Fog @lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 years agoThat’s a real shame they owned Coffee Stain, I liked Goat Simulator.
