THQ sells off budget PC game publisher ValuSoft

THQ has sold off ValuSoft, its budget PC game publisher, to fellow budget PC game company Cosmi. The newly combined entity, Cosmi reports, will be the second largest US retail publisher of PC games in terms of units sold, and the top retail publisher in the "value software category."

"With the transition of the 'Value' PC business to Cosmi, our internal resources are now focused on our core video game portfolio where we can drive the highest quality performance and execution for our games," said THQ CEO Brian Farrell in the announcement. Though the sale price was not revealed, we can at least be confident that THQ has some internal resources to focus for a while, thanks to the Cosmi money.
