So by that rationale, every single shop in existence that you don't use or buy items in, should be closed, seeing how it's worthless to you.

Easy solution to this- make better games.

THQ has never said to me "mark of quality"

Oh dear, i hope Metro survives.

Won't miss THQ in honestly as they haven't developed a decent game since the N64 days.

Publishers are a dime a dozen, the games they publish will just be published by someone else, I can see EA, Activision, Insert any reputable publisher would be interested in games like Company of Heroes, and Metro, Warhammer etc.

CoH2 is my main game for next year! Nightmare!

Hopefully they can release something and the Pirates won't go for it and actually go buy it, and then we can all live happily ever after.

They had some great franchises along with the Bratz and Spongebob drivel though - Company of Heroes, Dawn of War, STALKER: SoC, Metro 2033, Supreme Commander, Saints Row, Red Faction.

I'm hoping Relic and Volition survive and are sold on intact (though Relic already lost a boat load of staff in order to cut costs unfortunately).

I'm sure Relic will be picked up, couldn't care less about the Saints Row franchise or any of the others, but I do hope the people involved manage to find jobs elsewhere.

Urgh, worst part of EA picking it up will be Origin release only.

Well, that and there tendency to ruin everything they acquire.

I always quite liked thq...

Dawn of war

****!

Am/was greatly looking forward to CoH2 and Metro. Still, if they don't go with EA then I'm confident both are far enough along in development (Metro more so apparently) that they'll be released 95%+ as originally intended. Fingers-crossed...

Indeed.

Last decent game these guys made?

Pitfighter.

EDIT: I must be getting confused. It wasnt THQ was it? Atari I think.

Publishers arent a dime a dozen. There are fewer and fewer as we go along. The less we have the less choice we will have.

thq had a surprising number of good games to be failing

True!

COH still has competitive online tournys & such! Still going strong over 5 years on. Play every now and then still.

Definitely the best RTS i've played, probably the best game i've ever played overall too, certainly in my top 5.

I only care about what happens to Relic.

*Rich* · 6 Nov 2012 at 18:41

Shame to see them go, i had a good few hours playing SR3 when it came out, quite a good game with some quirky bits thrown in along with dlc too.

Le_Petit_Lapin · 6 Nov 2012 at 19:52

So what happens to the development studios of the games when their publisher goes bankrupt?
