Oh god Samit, I'm dying.
That header.
This is horrible, how am I supposed to get Saints Row 4 if THQ goes belly up?

To be honest, if THQ goes down I don't think I'll lose any sleep. Still, it's a bit worrying that a big publisher like THQ is even in financial trouble.
It's never good hearing about companies being in the red, but from what I've heard it was more a fault of moronic decisions than anything else.
This has me wondering how many more seasons that Saint's Row the Third's Season Pass will be good for.
Well, if Rockstar really would absorb THQ or at least Volition, maybe the mosaic patches over people's crotches in the Saint's Row games would go away. That would be the one good thing to come from it. Red Faction would also likely garner more sales due to Rockstar's logo gracing the box than all of the positive reviews on the entire Internet ever would. If only someone could get them interested in making the acquisition...

It's karma for canceling future Red Faction games and focusing on "mature" gamers. Now make de Blob 3 and actually market it this time.
I just hope Relic and Volition find new homes when THQ goes belly up. Couldn't care less for the rest of 'em, except for the fact that people losing their jobs is never a pleasant thing. Best of luck to them.
@Lenigod- Pirates are killing game companies (so their own testimony goes)so by your own admission, you are one of them salty dog scallywag buccaneers of the seas of information!
I can totally understand the allure of the lifestyle.
Pirates really are cut-throat,killing giant corporations and such, unlike those over-rated ninja who spend more time trying to protect children from drugs and making borderline inedible pizzas(their 'anti-drug', I suppose) than actually justifying their fearsome reputation!

Please sell Darksiders to Blizzard. It'll be guaranteed to continue. I know it would fit well with them.
@Lenigod
Godspeed, Lenigod! May you vengeance be slow and painful as you make their false gods crumble before their eyes! Make Kotick weep blood upon the earth and let that blood burst into flames and engulf him in an inferno that shall send him into Hade's dark abyss from whence he shall never more rise to torment us with yearly CoD sequels!

These guys are ripe to be bought out by EA or Activision, just like disney have just bought out ignition
These big greedy corporations swallowing up smaller publishers and turning them into a shaddow of their former selves is really making gaming a shittier place.

I'll be very sad to see THQ go belly up. I love pretty much everything they've done except Darksiders.
Damn, I'd hate to see these guys go under. Their games have always been among my favorites. I'm playing WWE '12 right now and enjoying the hell out of it.
I just hope that Relic wont be effect by this, they have treated the warhammer franchise far to well to get kicked out on their asses.
Fuck. I hope Volition and Vigil find a home with a decent publisher. I really like both of those studios and am always waiting to see what else they can produce. Saints Row 3 and Darksiders 2 can't be the end for them. It just cant!
Anyway, I vote for Take2, they let Rockstar do whatever they want, they should merge with THQ IMO

Clever header, though, a bit crass, considering the subject.
I hope things pick up for THQ as I thoroughly enjoyed Darksiders and the first two Saints Row games.
Also, I bought a uDraw tablet(for myself) and I'm satisfied with it. That's because I think of it as a board game, not a video game. I regret nothing, I love to draw.
Also, cocks.

[sarcasm] There are some games I don't personally like by them, so it's totally cool if the entire publisher and its studios go out of business. Thousands of people losing their jobs in one of the worst recessions in US history, that's fine by me. They deserve it because I don't like season passes or having to wait for game patches. [/sarcasm]
.....grrr.
.....grrr.
oh look, online pass ISN'T saving developers jobs?
They should implement more of them and charge more for them. THAT WILL WORK!

It's painful to see businesses hemorrhaging jobs in this economy, regardless of the pay. I just hope it buys them enough time to get to their next release.
As for those of you hoping Volition gets picked up by Rockstar (and other stupid ideas): You have no understanding of competition. If Rockstar got Volition, Saints Row is doomed. If Ubisoft or EA get anything, that franchise is also probably doomed. Blizzard doesn't get to get studios - and I'll admit, Activision could sustain anything except I guess Vigil. I doubt there could be any GOOD outcome if THQ folds, but the best would probably be Relic to 2K, Volition to Square Enix, and Vigil to Sega.

For a second I thought it was news about how revenues dropped, but then I see that not a single job loss is a developer I exhale in relief. At least those secretarial and administrative posts are transferrable economy wide. Game developers... not so much (not unless they are straight up programmers or artists).
That's a shame, I hear Darksiders is actually pretty good. I'm sure they'll be alright though, this is rough but these things happen and companies bounce back all the time.
Also, I know gamers are a bunch of immature and generally awful cunts, but TH'QQ'? Really? Does our piss poor excuse for journalism REALLY have to go that low? A company is losing a shit ton of money and people are losing jobs. I'd expect a line like that from some you-tube video posting fucktard...

JUST EARLIER TODAY, I WAS THINKING HOW SOMEONE SHOULD MAKE A 'THQQ' IMAGE!
I was gonna do it myself but this one looks better than my terribad photoshop skills might come up with

THQ has delivered a few gems to me, but I can't say I'm surprised this is happening. Every good game THQ delivers to store shelves is accompanied by about ten shit games they brought along for the ride. It's a damn shame.
Poor THQ I like a lot of their stuff Darksiders, Saint's Row, 40k license. Shame they are having trouble. At least their board is taking pay cuts I absolutely hate it when mass layoffs are announced but the board gets to keep their pay.
This is the culmination of multiple successive acts of stupidity. Remember when they came out with that logo change? I think we knew then that it was only a matter of time. I love how the CEO still ends up getting hundreds of thousands of dollars not to mention the bonuses and other crap he'll receive if he leaves, while the poor employees who were only carrying out his stupid decisions are the ones out on the street. I'm starting a new movement today called "Occupy THQ"
they deserve it, they ruined red faction and saints row.
also maybe im not on the internet enough, or dont get the joke, but whats so funny about the THQQ header? is its some NASDAQ joke?
