Nordic Games CEO Says DarkSiders 2 Budget Was Ridiculous

Nordic Games owner and CEO Lars Wingefors said that at the time THQ spent $50 million developing Darksiders 2, which he thinks was way too much. "Darksiders is a top product, THQ spent $50 million making Darksiders 2. We can produce a product of the same quality but for a lower cost. $50 million is ridiculous. I can't afford that." Wingerfors goes on to say "The THQ deal was the best I ever made, I spent $5 million from my own bank account. It was a lot of money for me, but we got the money back very quickly." Nordic Games bought the rights to Darksiders from THQ's games in an auction after it filed for bankruptcy in December 2012.
