Meh, after they lost Yu-Gi-Oh!, they had nothing left. They lost Pokemon and One Piece, their runs of Sonic X and TMNT already ended, and most of their original content was just plain crud. honestly, I couldn't care less what happens to 4Kids now
With the popularity of the Game Boy games, any company that licenses anime, including Saban, would try to get their hands on it. Also, Saban acquired Digimon very shortly after 4Kids acquired Pokemon in an attempt to compete.
