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...*crosses fingers* | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. Perhaps you should do the research yourself... | ||

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

Activision makes decisions thinking like businessmen instead of thinking like gamers and theyre doing extremely well 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. | ||
