The company is currently worth ~$11 million, which is probably about a third of the budget of a single one of their games.
Wow, that's shockingly low.
As others have pointed out, THQ does have a few great studios and game franchises under their banner. However, it's unlikely that they'll be able to survive much longer like this.
The new WWE '13 game looks good, although I haven't tried it yet. If I recall correctly, THQ's contract with WWE lasts until the end of 2014. The problem is that THQ might not last that long.
Is WWE a big moneymaker for THQ? If not, then perhaps THQ could find a way to sell off the remainder of their contract to another publisher to raise much needed money. Or perhaps everyone just waits for this ship to sink completely, and then a new round of bidding starts.
Someone suggested that Nintendo swoop in and buy a couple of the studios and IPs like Darksiders and Saints Row. You know, that might be a good idea. It would be an easy way for Nintendo to instantly gain a couple of established "mature" games to expand their portfolio.
