Sega got Relic - that's good news.

Wish all the Relic guys good luck with new employee; now that the thing is settled i hope Relic can keep on rolling and polishing this unique gem, that CoH is.

You guys rock.

Best wishes to Relic under the new bosses. SEGA looks like the lesser evil indeed.

Sega's bid to buy Relic remains a proposal for now, pending approval by a U.S. bankruptcy court judge. ZeniMax Media, parent company of Bethesda Softworks and id Software, has submitted a backup bid of $26.3 million, in case Sega's offer doesn't go through.

So, do they just change the sign at the door and everybody can work as usual tomorrow? Or is this a week-long process (any info from other publisher changes).

Best of luck Relic under new management! Thank you SEGA (please don't screw up). And best of luck to the staff at Ex-THQ, especially THQlynx (miss u)!

I can be wrong but it might take some time to change some legal stuff and etc.. bureaucracy takes a long time before things starts moving..

That's ok, THQLynx informed us very vocally in many forums and ways that he is "not at all concerned about THQ's financial situation" so he should be fine.

I'm sure THQLynx is doing great! He's probably one of the few that got to keep his job, and knew that when he said it.

Nope, Lynx lost his job; but I'm not getting into this whole personal opinion vs corporate 'selling'; already tried a few times and no-one seems to believe me.

On a positive note, thanks to those who have remained positive about us throughout this - you guys rock! I have to say, I always remained confident about this and everything actually turned out better than I thought!

i think you're oversimplifying.
any consumer has the right to express skepticism for any comment an employee has.

i've never stated you were an utter 100% fraud.

what i did say is that the opinion of a Relic or THQ employee should be taken with the same grain of salt that you would take when the Captain of the TOronto Maple Leafs claims "we've got a really good team this year and we're going to compete hard at the top level of this league".

Do I think Dion Phaneuf is a complete liar?
No I do not.

But, I'm also not going ot pre-order my 2013 Stanley Cup FInals tickets from MLSE either.

Seeing as Relic is in Canada i thought a hockey analogy was apropos.

I really hope and pray that all the people who lost their jobs get a good settlement package to take them through the next few months .

Killian and tychus are acting like complete jerks in this thread...

On the other hand Sega buying Relic doesn't seem bad at all. Though I hope Lynx lands on his feet soon

Awesome pic Bob, thanks for sharing it! :)

@Lynx, in your short time as CM for COH, I think I can speak for the majority of the community when I say that you've earned our respect and support. Let us know if we can help you in any way in the future.

I really hope Lynx get offered to play some part in the CoH community. Having a CM that cares is so damn important :(

I've been through things like this myself, and from my experience "worst case" you get picked up by a awesome company and get a better position than you already had. Companies love talented people. Bis resumè is all over the internet, and that's a testament to the work hes've put in.

Wish you the best of luck, Lynx and hope to see you around no matter what happens IRL.

I feel a bit sorry for Lynx. He seems like a cool guy and he hung around the SNF chat a lot and it seemed like he enjoyed the show as much we fans do. Hoping that you'll get a new job soon (and hopefully in the same business since which you excel at) and I hope you'll hang around. If you won't stay or will be too busy to stay, you'll be missed. :(

Do you want Lynx as CM again? Retweet!!! :D
