THQ Nordic Absorb Bugbear and Coffee Stain in Early Black Friday Purchase

It's been a few months since the good ship THQ Nordic took on more passengers. Announcing their financial results this morning, THQ Nordic took the opportunity to bring two more companies on board. This is Coffee Stain and Bugbear. The former gained their reputation from Goat Simulator, although they've started publishing games in recent years. The latter is the development team behind the good Flatout games and Wreckfest, which spent most of its life as Next Car Game.

Older gamers may remember Coffee Stain as the folks behind Sanctum. An early hit on Steam, this first-person tower defense hybrid spawned a sequel and an arcadey spinoff before being superseded by the meme-laden Goat Simulator. While that started as an April Fool's joke, it spawned an empire of spinoffs and expansions. It also gave the company enough funding to start publishing a few other indie titles. This includes Deep Rock Galactic, A Story About My Uncle, and The Westport Independent.
