Gaming company THQ files for bankruptcy

Well that explains the THQ Bundle...

What a shame, what a shame.

They deserve it. One of my favorite games was published by them and they did nothing to ruin the game. The game company wanted to fix and patch problems in the game, but thq refused to allow the company to fix it. In the contract thq held exclusive rights to allow updates and it seemed thq and the other company had a falling out and thq did whatever they could to make the other company feel the pain...

If thq goes bye-bye, everyone involved would benefit.

Really SomeBozo?

Any links to your story, any evidence at all? What was this game that they ruined? I hate to be skeptical, but I call BS on that one.

THQ are one of the better publishers and it is definitely a shame to see them going the way of the Dodo.

Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.

I donated most of my bundle purchase to them. Sad to see it didn't help lol.

I'll miss Saints Row...hopefully someone picks up the franchise.

Well I did everything I could, bought the Saints pack on steam a month ago for $12.50 and the THQ bundle for uhh I forget, probably about $10.... OK, maybe I'm starting to see why they went bankrupt.

I believe they made Metro 2033. One of the best games I have ever played.

@ClownShoes... perhaps some time in the games industry would educate you and your scepticism. Publishers are notoriously a bunch of idiots with a cheque book.

THQ should have gone bump years ago... They did serious damage to the reputation of a company I worked for, when they released a pre-release version of a Gameboy Colour game to manufacture. The version of the game had a show-stopping bug in it, and it should never have been released... especially as it was before the project deadline. But they didn't give a sh*t, and denied all responsibility, leaving users with an unfinishable game, and us to deal with the backlash.

Also turned out that the version that turned up on torrent sites, was the exact same bugged version, as we downloaded it and compared code versions.

I feel pity for the genuine workers, but the management deserve every hardship they get... w****rs!
