In fact sometimes an IP switching hands is a good thing. Take a look at the WWE games for example. When Acclaim had the rights to their games, we ended up with blocky nearly uncontrollable sluggish turds. When THQ took over and made Smackdown!, we got a much better, faster paced, more refined wrestling game. Not a great example given that wrestling games are never particularly epic, but you get the idea. Acclaim made a bad series that when handed to THQ improved remarkably.
