He is reading too much into that statement. Sega now owns the DoW IP, but that only covers games that have already been made and it doesn't automatically grant them the 40k license..

GW deliberately withheld the 40K license when Relic was sold, apparently because they will only work with developers that GW can trust. GW have stated that they are receptive to granting the 40K license to Sega and as they already have the fantasy license its highly likely to happen but its not 100% certain yet.

Wait, no Dawn of War license? So does that mean we should expect a like-dawn-of-war-but game? I dunno... War at Dawn or something.

Pretty much. It means there will continue to be 40k games, very likely done by Relic, but just not Dawn of War or Space Marine.

I'm totally fine with that outcome. Better than the 40k license disappearing again, or worse, going to Activision or EA.

I think that its highly likely that Sega will get the 40K license, Relic is supposed to have already been working on DoW 3 and the DoW and Space Marine games sold well so Sega is likely to be keen to pick up the license and GW is highly likely to want to revenue that will create for them.

Its premature to say that it will definately happen though.

I guess I'm the only one that cares but what about the UFC games? Where are those going?

While they didn't get the Dawn of War or Space Marine IP's, that combination just makes good things possible.

Yay! It's a shame they didn't get DoW or SM though, hopefully we'll get some good spiritual sequels

Who finally took up Metro Last Light? I hope this doesn't lead to too much of a delay, as I cannot freaking wait for that game.

Koch media (who used to be Deep Silver), development will be unchanged apparently.

Metro Last Light is an almost finished game so I wouldn't expect that much to be altered.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/15620/ Have a look at who is listed as the publisher, its the same story with all the 40k licensed games, the only exceptions that I have found are some of the DLC packs. It looks very much like SEGA and GW have come to an arrangement with the 40k license.
