Double Fine may be interested in THQ properties

That actually sounds like a really good combination. :D

Found this in commments section, not sure if true or whatever though:

"Double Fine are currently being backed by a private investment company called Dracogen, otherwise known as Canadian multi-millionaire Steven Dengler, who funded the PC versions of Iron Brigade, Costume Quest and Stacking as well as recent iOS game Middle Manager of Justice and I also believe has contributed significant support to the Double Fine Adventure, as have I.

I'm not completely sure of the situation with the IP's for Costume Quest and Stacking but I would assume that Double Fine are more interested in retrieving these than acquiring new ones. Besides after Amnesia Fortnight I'd hardly think they'd need to purchase ideas to work on when they're are at least three or four projects going on right now."

Other way around. The franchises will be sold ala carte if the as-a-whole don't beat the combined bids for the franchises.

There isn't a point in acquiring one of THQ IPs and not have a planned console release for it, assuming they're looking for the AAA titles.

Eh, I thought Square was going to get on that juice.
