Nordic?

Nordic?

Trying to figure that out myself.  They actually have several subcompanies and are more of a publisher, such as The Adventure Company.  With that said they still publish a lot of... really unnotable releases.  Everything I can find by them, excepting - apparently - Sam & Max Season One - I've never heard of.

My research indicates they're a third-party publisher mostly known for ports.  I guess this is their foray into publishing their own titles?

As long as Darksiders doesn't die off like I initially though.
Also rofl Drawn to Life so cheap.
