I think I understand why Dawn of War 2 has something like 32 DLC packs for it now -.-. Hope Relic can somehow survive this. | ||

THQ have been responsible for publishing some awful games in the not so distant past i.e. The 50 cent game (forgotten what it was called), Homefront, even the "Bratz" games, to name a few. The only people worth caring about here are Relic who are, quite frankly, one of the best game developers about. Homeworld, Homeworld 2, CoH, DoW and DoW2 are all legendary games. All, sadly, are underrated and underplayed (though you can get the whole DoW set for about £12 atm on Steam, maybe a time for revival?). There is no reason to assume that Relic will be dragged under with THQ, but something to look out for. They can move to a different publisher if need be. No tears here though. | ||

Then do the same cause they realise they like money just as much. TL;DR: I f**king hate THQ and hope they are gonners nWo vs. WCW World Tour, WCW Revenge, Wrestlemania 2000, and No Mercy were hardly "cookie cutter" titles. They were far and away the best games in their genre. THQ turned AKI into a powerhouse with boatloads of North American cash. The initial game that started off was actually a Sony game called "WCW vs. The World". for the first 3 games you had to have a "gentleman's agreement" with ur opponent that no one would hit the analog stick when being pinned  .. great times! | ||

No tears here though. problem is.. Relic gets big tax breaks from the BC gov't in exchange for employee head count guarantees. Relic relies on royalty money from THQ their funding is a house of cards. | ||

I am still bitter because I spent 3 month's worth of my childhood allowance on it instead of Banjo Kazooie, which as we all know, was fucking fantastic. | ||

Their warhammer 40K "action" game was pretty awful too so not too surprised about their downfall. On another topic dont buy blizz/activision stocks either, totally worthless and 0 growth. | ||
