SEGA have dropped a lawsuit on THQ over money they were owed from Steam pre-orders of Company of Heroes 2.
There were 20,755 pre-orders for Company of Heroes 2 registered through Steam from September 2012 to 24th January 2013. This generated revenue of $1,345,301.29 with Valve taking a 30% cut of those sales. This left THQ and Relic Entertainment with 70% which amounts to around $941,000.
SEGA claims it’s owned $508,877.85 from those pre-orders as Valve paid THQ after 19th December 2012, the day it filed for bankruptcy protection.
Despite the negative reception to Aliens: Colonial Marines, support for the game has been solid with numerous patches and DLC packs.
The final DLC pack for the game will be called Stasis Interrupted and is the only pack to offer additional single player campaign content.
Knowledge of the pack has been leaked via the pack’s PS3 trophies. No word on release dates or pricing are available at this time, but as usual the DLC will be “free” to owners of the game’s season pass.
The PC version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed has received a new character as DLC and it’s available to download now. The character in question is General Winter from Company of Heroes 2. Check the character in action below:
Jurgen Post, head of SEGA West has revealed in an MCV interview that SEGA might consider releasing games that belong to their PC franchises for next generation consoles.
“If next gen consoles become as successful as people say, we can look to move some of our big properties on PC over to those machines.”
No games were specified by SEGA’s PC franchises currently include Company of Heroes 2, Total War, Football Manager and unannounced Warhammer titles.
SEGA will be demoing the following games at this year’s E3:
Sonic: Lost World (Wii-U, 3DS)
Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (XBLA, PSN, PC)
