Oh man. I had no idea THQ was behind Devil's third.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Didn't Saint's Row 3 sell pretty well?
Please go to Platinum Itagaki (And I'm sure they'd except you to Patrice!)

We'll always remember you for trying to let developers make the games they wanted to make, no mater how awful of a business strategy that was.
Yep... it was the EA strategy taken to the next level, except for the fact that that strategy didn't work.
You have to give it to the Mayans, they saw this coming.
Also heard that THQ are offering themselves to Asian firms to increase value!
Would be interesting to see a Chinese group take it over.
Do we have any idea how much Saint´s Row sold/shipped?
Christ this better not be true
Yeah, EA lived as they could actually lose $2 billion repairing the damage they did doing that.
THQ on the other hand...
I wonder who Asian firm will buy them.
Probably Konami.

nah, probably nintendo
Saints Row MMO please, thanks!
This is awful, all those talented developers working on games for the next year in the knowledge that their parent company is irrevocably fucked.
I really is. Looking through my game library, I'm surprised to see so many games I'd label as favorites made my THQ. Space Marine, Dawn of War, Saint's Row The Third. I didn't like Darksiders too much but it was a great idea. What a shame. They have so many enthusiastic and talented developers. Relic especially needs to come out unharmed.It's sad to see to be honest -- I remember when THQ first started and published some really crappy games, like the Ren & Stimpy and Home Alone games. To go from being another Acclaim/LJN publisher to a really top tier publisher with great games like Saints Row, Darksiders, etc. in less than 20 years is amazing.
How did EA actually lose 2 billion tho? The only games I remember from that "creative period" are Mirror's Edge, Boom Blox, Dead Space (which is still going strong) and Spore.
