Double Fine Attempting to Get the Rights to Stacking and Costume Quest from Nordic Games
Double Fine are keen to acquire the distribution rights to some of the titles that Nordic Games recently picked up from the fallen THQ.
Namely, the games they developed: Costume Quest and Stacking. In an interview with Game Informer, CEO of the studio Tim Schafer said they are currently looking into getting these two properties back home:
“We’re still trying to get the rights to Costume Quest and Stacking. We can still make more of those games. We still have the IP, but we’d love to have all of the IP and distribution rights in house.”
Schafer also confirmed that the developer is eager to get Brütal Legend and Iron Brigade from Microsoft. In the cut-throat environment, having full rights to your properties has never seemed so evident as it does now. Personally speaking, Brütal Legend isn’t a title I’d be excited to see again, but Costume Quest and particularly Stacking were very interesting ideas and ones I’d love to see revisited by Double Fine.

How's things? I'm the video guy and would love if you'd watch the things I do like Debatable and For Your Amusement. I spend the majority of my days explaining why The Wire is the greatest TV show ever and clamouring for a Pop-Punk revival(c. 1994) whilst singing in my best Axl Rose-esque voice. Do not say professional wrestling is “fake” around me or, he’ll bore you with, what I like to call, “the risks they take”. Henrik Larsson is my hero.

Oh...and it's pronounced, "Cull-um".
