“Koch Media has a long history of profitability despite losses incurred from some less successful game releases,” THQ Nordic CEO Lars Wingefors said in the press release. “THQ Nordic is convinced that the development studios of Deep Silver as part of THQ Nordic will successfully deliver at least four ongoing AAA game projects including Metro Exodus as well as the next Volition Studio AAA release and the next Dambuster Studio AAA release, together with a number of other game development and publishing titles.”

Where does THQ Nordic get all the money for these acquisitions? Just wondering ...

I like that these guys are willing to fund a wide variety of IPs. Its in stark contrast to other publishers which are looking to release fewer titles with more microtransactions.
