Carmageddon, also known as that PSone game with the mental looking bald guy on the cover, has been snapped up by THQ Nordic. That's Carmageddon the property, not a single copy of the PSone title, just to be clear.
It's the latest in a long string of acquisitions by the publisher, which has been buying old or dormant properties for quite some time now. It's nabbed Kingdoms of Amalur and Alone in the Dark just to name a couple, while also jumping on developers such as Bugbear Entertainment. THQ Nordic has been busy to say the least, but it's a plan that's apparently been making the publisher a lot of money.
There are no details on what the company plans on doing with Carmageddon yet, but it's interesting to think about all of these properties just sitting under THQ Nordic's umbrella.
Do you remember Carmageddon? Did you know that a Carmageddon game launched on PS4 in 2016? Because we totally forgot -- and it's probably a good job that we did. In any case, floor it in the comments section below.

I wonder how much they're paying for some of these.
@get2sammyb I like to imagine that there's just a site like ebay, only it's for IP no one wants any more, and THQ Nordic is just adding everything to basket because they only cost a few quid.
@ShogunRok Haha.
I saw the license being on sale during Black Friday for only 1.99. I was actually about to buy it for my dad for Christmas. Went to my local video game store, but it turned out somebody had already bought it before me. I could've known it was Nordic.
@Kidfried God damn we might need two Comment of the Week awards.
