Videogame maker THQ Inc. received court permission to split apart into the hands of the highest bidders from a bankruptcy auction that reaped nearly $72 million for the rights to such THQ titles as "Company of Heroes" and "Saints Row," Dow Jones DBR Small Cap reported today. Bankruptcy Judge Mary Walrath signed off on five purchase agreements that will give THQ a pool of money to pay off its debts before closing down its headquarters outside Los Angeles.
