Fate Of WWE Games Uncertain
Update: IGN is now reporting that Take Two will be acquiring the WWE license.
-------------------------------
THQ no longer exists as a company, and we've even learned exactly how much each of its properties and developers cost. One thing we don't know, however, is exactly what will become of the lucrative WWE license.
Wrestling blog Cageside Seats reported last month that THQ owes Vince McMahon's company $45 million dollars, and that the eccentric WWE chairman is "furious" about the situation (weird...he's usually so level-headed).
Rumors have been swirling today about Electronic Arts purchasing the wrestling license, but it's far from confirmed. We'll update you as soon as official word comes out.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
