i think (read: HOPE) that they will have a little boost after UFC undisputed 3 comes out, i think a lot of people will buy that game now that MMA has gained a lot of popularity the last few years. and the game looks great!

Same for Sony as well but who cares THQ just makes the cookie cutter games that the industry laughs at and then cries when they see how successful selling to lowest level is. 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

this is sort of strange news considering the surprising success of saints row 3 (financially at least).

but yea, THQ had a lot of busts last year with red faction, space marine, etc

You might want to add this to the OP, it's an article about just how bad Udraw failed.

35$ to .50$ ! wow that is not what I expected to see.
I cant say I have ever played one of their titles but its sad to see an rts company die.

Relic is an awesome studio, but they were ruined by THQ. They never should have let THQ acquire them. THQ is a shit company.

So THQ currently owns relic, which in turn means they own the rights to the Homeworld franchise. If THQ goes down, which also means Relic, who do the HW rights go to? Would they become up for grabs?

I think I understand why Dawn of War 2 has something like 32 DLC packs for it now -.-.

Hope Relic can somehow survive this.

As much as I can't stand all those people saying shit like "DoW is so much better than Starcraft cuz SC is just about spamming buttons making a giant army and attacking", I don't think it would be good for a giant money-grubbing company like Activision to lose a competitor.

Won't miss them.

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.

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!

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.

Anybody remember their game Quest 64 for the Nintendo 64? That game was truly awful.

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.

Hope you did'nt buy stocks, lawl

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.
