Sega sues bankrupt THQ for £630k over Company of Heroes 2 Steam pre-orders

[Administrator]

Sega is suing bankrupt publisher THQ for £630,000 over Company of Heroes 2 pre-orders on Steam.
Sega filed a claim with the Delaware US Bankruptcy Court worth $941,710.93, which is the amount Valve paid THQ for pre-orders of the World War 2 real-time strategy game through Steam.
There were 20,755 pre-orders for CoH2 registered through Steam from September 2012 to 24th January 2013. That generated revenue of $1,345,301.29, but, as is standard, Valve takes a 30 per cent cut of Steam sales, leaving publishers and developers with 70 per cent - in this case $941k.
