THQ dissolved

Despite my playthrough of Crysis 2 being a little underwhelming, and reading average reviews of the 3rd, the first and its expansion are classics. If done right, the thought of a Homefront sequel by Crytek is good news.

argh! the only game i wanted saved was darksiders! 

whats gonna happen to the Warhammer 40k franchise?

Well. no EA or Activision involved so all is well here.

"For those THQ employees who are part of entities that are not included in the sale, we are confident that the talent you have displayed as part of THQ will be recognized as you take the next steps in your career," ...

Talk about Euphemism !!!

Im just loling. Sega got the Warhammer franchise. Next stop Warhammer 40k total war edition. Futuristic battles in the milky way galaxy. Do u have what it takes to be the next God Emperor? Facepalm!!!!

Too many UFC games? 

while thq had at one point been my favorite producer, i am overjoyed by this.  Those d bags ruined everything.

And it wont be bad to see things like metro in the hands of folks like deep silver (koch, they made one of the stalker games already), and folks like sega (who made the total war series) getting their hands on dawn of war and company of heroes etc.

Looks like Darksiders might become a collector's item. And who is Koch media? Sorta hoped Ubisoft would get the Metro series.

Does anyone else find it hysterical that every single franchise sold for millions of dollars, but Homefront sells for 500k and has no runner up bidder?  Talk about confirmation for how horrible a game is.

I hope Vigil games find a home. Would like more Darksiders.

koch media made catherine and dead island so it can't be that bad

heard dat Platinum Games interested in buyin Darksiders :DD

Or is it just me who loved darksiders...eh?...eh??...what do you guys think??.

WHAT ..!! no one bought Darksiders ...Really..!!!. That is shocking as hell....I mean it was the best IP among all the others....Tragic really.

so what will happen to metro i wonder?

Well. Crytec got the awesome game from THQ. Let's see what they can do with it...

homeworld.............................................................................................

koch media got saints row............ fuckin hell

Surprising that Company of Heroes got several million dollars more than the Saints Row series. Also, Crytek made themselves a good deal fetching Homefront for half a million. It may have been a crap game, but it still sold almost 3 million units. The name recognition alone is worth the money for a sequel.

One of the last great ones. RIP

at least COH2 and metro last light are in good hands 

As long as my COH 2 comes out with a bang and it's polished i'm ok w.e that, I mean who knows maybe they'll let creative assembly work with it, Love the Total War series, and Sega publishes it out, never been disappointed with their games so far, I'm not to worried. Homefront and Crytek might just make a nice pair. I'm looking forward for the South Park game, we'll see how that goes. Koch They published stalker clear sky, and I rather enjoyed it so I could see metro living on perhaps. The rest of the games/franchises i could care less about. R.I.P THQ though they surely will be missed, sad to see them go, one company that still held it's head high and produced quality games for their gamers, that's my opinion at least, I will miss them! Thanks for the great games!!!!!!!!!!!

bright side: those shitty movie based games will be delayed until they start the machine back up. 

F*CK why Relic Went to Sega?Now they gonna f*ck up the Warhammer franchise (the new 3rd person and all those strategy one's)Sega go make your Multifunctional sh*tty games ( referring to Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit and Binary Domain)Get Away From RELIC!

any new news on darksiders?

Sad...this is...very very very saad...from alot of aspects....THQ was and will remain (in memory) a good, proud and just Publisher... probably that's why it died...Unlike EA and other who will try to make all the money possible from a game... (I do agree with them to some extend...I mean developers DO need to eat and have families etc, but sometimes is just waaay to aggressive...their marketing scheme)...
Still.. I dropped a tear when I read this even if I don't know anyone personal at THQ...it sorrows me alot....I hoped they will not die like this....

There's a Kickstart going on to buy the Homeworld IP.  I can't say I really trust the folks doing the kickstart, though.  I would rather see Stardock buy it.  (And I would very much like to see GOG start selling the first two games!)

really? the stick of truth is that important ! lol

I hope the employees are able to get the job offers

Volition and Saints Row franchise
Winning bid: $22.3 million - Koch Media
Backup bidder: $5.4 million - Ubisoft

Koch Media was a tad zealous here!  Must really highly value the Saints Row franchise

As sad as I am to see it go, I will be honest that I saw this coming.

They were on a downward spiral since the start of the last decade, so I didn't have many hopes lasting 'til 2015. Such a shame for them to die out all the same.

one or two big names wouldn't sufice ? :| damn

Crytek has homefront? I see this turning into something awesome.

RIP THQ. I had a great time playing a lot of WWE games, so I will definitely miss them around. 

just an advise disabled the auto updates on all your THQ published games on steam or any other platform that does the same who knows what might happen.

Shame, had some great times courtesy of THQ.

That sucks. TH-Q was a great company. I'm a little worried about this however.

South Park: The Stick of Truth
Winning bid: $3,265,306 - Ubisoft

 I hope Ubisoft doesn't screw it up. This is really the only game I'm looking forward to coming out of TH-Q.
