I hope half the stuff he;s saying are true. I really hope THQ survives, they make some of my favourite series.
Sounds legit to me, great news for everyone! I'm pretty glad about this as some of their biggest games are in development and would definitely be a good investment.I hope half the stuff he;s saying are true. I really hope THQ survives, they make some of my favourite series.

Brian Farrell? The whole uDraw thing. Yeah... Well, at least their suits are noble enough to take 50% salary cuts for 2012. You don't see many exec's doing that. As THQ president, I really like Jason Rubin. Great news. I hope this is truly a new start for THQ.I hope their CEO, who in my opinion is mostly responsible fro their current hardship, gets fired.

Yeah, THQ have some great franchises on their hands, it would be a shame to see EA and Activision buy them if THQ started selling off assets.

Noble as they may be I know if I cost my company $50 million I sure wouldn't have a job. I got fired once for yelling at a coworker and I made that company more money than anyone at my position there had previously.

It was actually more than $50 million loss in those uDraw projections. It was more like $100 million, not including the 1.4 million units sitting around, unsold. I agree with you though, noble as it may be, they really need to get their act together, ESPECIALLY the CEO.
Jason Rubin is probably the best thing that happened to them in the past 6-8 months. The sad thing, no matter how noble and great of an employee you are, one f'up can cause you your job. It seems more and more that everyone is replaceable these days.
that is a very reassuring letter from a man involved in a business that is, sorry to say, populated by some of the more immature professionals out there.
Bravo, THQ
Fantastic news! THQ does a lot of games I like.
I am really looking forward to Southpark, and Company of Heroes 2.
We just got WWE '13 on ps3, which is a THQ game. They did a fantastic job with this one too. Honestly its the best wrestling game I have played since the N64.
WWF No Mercy! :DFantastic news! THQ does a lot of games I like.

I remember WCW vs NWO world Tour, and WCW vs NWO Revenge. There was one other that was just like it, might be No Mercy.
THQ has definitely turned into one of the best publishers out there this generation, despite the unfortunate decisions made by their previous management.
Heads up, looks like Ubisoft may be about to acquire THQ...

I hope they acquire THQ. Better Ubisoft then the "other" big publishers. Other good choices would be 2K games, Square Enix..
Ugh, can you imagine what EA would do to Metro or Company of Heroes. Company of Heroes would become a free to play game with micro transactions designed with tablets in mind and Metro would be an annualized generic FPS.
Horrible.

I could imagine it, but it would give me a brain aneurysm. I'd hate to see anything bad happen to COH and Metro, let alone THQ's entire game lineup. EA would push for tacked-on multiplayer.[QUOTE="HyperWarlock"]

Then all the little pieces left of old THQ would get shut down in a matter of 3 or so years... and industry would abuse a bad 'Relic' pun somewhere in there...Please Log In to post.
