Damn, Company of Heroes was pretty great, in fact it's probably the game that got me into SC2 (I used to watch CoH vods, then from there found SC2 beta vods and found them interesting, decided to check out the community and then was hooked when the game released).

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.

Space Marine wasn,'t a bad game at all.
It did what it was meant for.

Mismanagement is bankrupting the company and the CEO is taking a 50% pay cut. Hmm lol. Better make it a 100% paycut.

Make a company of heroes 2 and you can have all the money in the world.

Or at the very least 60 bucks from me.

Always sad when a game company goes under I'll keep an eye on them to see if they go for broke as it were and pour everything they've got into one last game in hopes of recovering. If they do I'll be sure to look on it as favorably as possible...

This is very sad news indeed, hopefully the core of people who has worked on the CoH and DoW-series find new homes. Especially since I personally think that CoH is a better game (than SC2 is now, but that says itself not only 2 years in) and has such great potential but the online play just was not there.
Also, Relic is needed to keep the RTS genre stay fresh since they have done an immensely good job with the gameplay, very professional if you know what I mean.

If they're going to die, at least make Homeworld 3! I haven't found a space game like it despite my attempts. Sins is fun but the Homeworld franchise has something special.

To all the people talking about Homeworld: THQ and Relic DO NOT own the rights to the Homeworld franchise hence why there has NOT been a Homeworld 3. Come on people. If you liked a game so much at least do the tiny bit of research needed to realize a third was never going to see the light of day.

Sierra Entertainment owns the rights to the Homeworld franchise.

Loved the Warhammer 40k stuff. I'm sure Relic will find a new publisher if THQ will really go bankrupt. I only hope that The Warhammer 40k MMO will still come out

the original dawn of war series was fantastic. admittedly it suffered pretty big balance issues but to be fair they didn't have the resources to work with that blizzard had.

morale, cover, most units having both range and melee attacks, the way the resource system worked.. it all just made the game really fluid to both watch and play, with constant action. if you ever had idle units, you were probably making a mistake.

Perhaps you should do the research yourself...

I was never really a fan of these RTS's although I do admit that they did offer a very different style to the traditional popular RTS franchise at the time.

So sad that a company which has pumped out quality titles on a regular basis for some time now, has also suffered from severe mismanagement and fiscal/market strategy.

How the fuck they ever banked so much on the uDraw is beyond me; gimmicky, casual gaming is such a fickle market. The Wii should have been a bigger warning to them.

i don't like to see any company go down, but i haven't played any games from THQ. why would they bank so much on udraw? they are making decisions thinking like a businessman and not like a gamer.

I dont get that point. Activision makes decisions thinking like businessmen instead of thinking like gamers and theyre doing extremely well

This would seem to suggest otherwise...

I'm not sure whether them making decisions like buisnessmen, rather than gamers is the reason they're collapsing, but isn't comparing THQ and Activision a little like comparing apples to oranges? Activision has extremely large and established franchises under their belts that they can exploit using a business first mentality with no negative impact on sales. THQ doesn't, and risks alienating fans if they do things like Activision does, nay?

It sucks to see THQ go down, though. They funded a lot of series' that I enjoyed... metro 2033, the saints row series and all of relic's works... I hope those dev teams find a publisher after. I'm pretty sure volition and relic will be able to, but I'm not so hopeful for 4A Games.
