Some back and forth on that, I would argue that it is appropriate in the lede. Don't need to use it every time, but a single time for each entity does provide information to the reader, so has value. Farmer Brown ( talk) 22:47, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
@ Iftekharahmed96 and Lordtobi: We're already deep in edit war territory here. Don't forget 3RR. I think it's time for talk page. -- ferret ( talk) 12:34, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
Look, THQ Nordic have published these games on Steam under the THQ Nordic banner, therefore, it is valid to place them as the current publishers of said franchises. Stop your invalid reverts Iftekharahmed96 ( talk) 20:18, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
It is literally on the THQ Nordic website, this is not a "Crystal Ball" edit, this is definitive proof from the company themselves that they are actively utilizing said Intellectual Properties and releasing it under their publishing label. Look at the left and right navigational arrows, they show all the different THQ Nordic franchises or games that will be released. And by the way, the Darksiders remastered releases can be classified as new products because the publishing label is under Nordic Games and the content has been modified from the original THQ releases.

We've got a problem here. Ever since 2017, the Nordic Games website has been terminated. This means that all the citations that have been provided which displayed explicit evidence of the majority of Nordic Games acquisitions can no longer be displayed. How do we solve this situation? Iftekharahmed96 ( talk) 13:48, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
Impressive job Lordtobi . I commend you for finding these really obscure citations. It must have been a real challenge trying to identify them especially considering the fact you had to add more former companies into the mix with the acquisitions table.

From Koch Media's official press release statement: https://www.kochmedia.com/en/2018/02/14/swedish-publicly-listed-company-thq-nordic-ab-owner-thq-nordic-acquires-koch-media-including-publishing-unit-deep-silver/
The Swedish publicly listed company THQ Nordic AB has today announced that it acquires 100% of the share capital of Koch Media GmbH.
THQ Nordic and Koch Media/Deep Silver will continue to operate as two separate entities under the publicly listed entity, THQ Nordic AB. Each company will have full operational focus on delivering each of its own business plans over the coming years. No restructuring, change in headcount or change in relationship with their business partners are planned. Synergies such as partnerships from both groups’ IPs, assets and development capacity, further distribution power will be reviewed going forward. Both entities will have a pro-active acquisition agenda along with the parent company’s growth strategy.
Koch Media Co-Founder, Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, will remain as CEO of Koch Media and will become a substantial shareholder of the THQ Nordic AB going forward.
The board of directors of THQ Nordic AB will propose a change of name of THQ Nordic AB well ahead of the AGM in the company in order to better reflect its strategy and business areas within the new group. The new name will not be used against end-consumers in order to avoid confusion and rather strengthen each entity’s independence. The names of both operational companies, including its publishing units Deep Silver and THQ Nordic, will remain unchanged.
THQ Nordic AB`s founder, CEO and majority shareholder Lars Wingefors welcomes the deal: “Koch Media is ideally suited to foster our ambitions for growth, profitability based on its employees and longstanding business partners. Deep Silver has four AAA games in development that will generate further growth for the coming years. With Koch Media business partners we plan to remain the leading European publishing partner for the years to come.”
Klemens Kundratitz, co-founder and CEO of the Koch Media group comments: “Due to the great strategic fit of the two businesses, I believe that this is a superb strategic opportunity for Koch Media / Deep Silver and THQ Nordic. Our plan is to continue to develop and grow all parts of our business. Now, that Koch Media is part of a stock listed company we aim to accelerate growth”.
THQ Nordic is a subsidiary of THQ Nordic? According to swedish website "allabolag" THQ Nordic AB is a subsidiary of Lars Wingefors AB. https://www.allabolag.se/5565826558/thq-nordic-ab // Skottniss ( talk) 18:10, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
Looking at THQ Nordic's acquisition presentation for Coffee Stain, it becomes apparent that THQ Nordic GmbH (this company), Koch Media [Holding] and Coffee Stain [Holding] are all held separate from each other under THQ Nordic AB, the parent of THQ Nordic GmbH (this company); Coffee Stain's CEO also directly reports to THQN AB CEO/founder Wingefors. Should we create a seperate page for THQ Nordic AB? It would also make senes to include the pre-2011 history there. Lordtobi ( ✉) 10:05, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
