[Cute Dragon Here]

Guess this means that I really HAVE to play all the THQ games that I have in my Steam library now, if only to remember them.

 

[Cade]

A real shame to lose such a pinnacle of gaming. RIP, THQ.

 

[SteveWinwood]

And certainly will not be the last.

RIP and thanks for all those computer games.

I mean... the generation is almost over... so it might be.

 

[erpg]

Tragic.

Looking at the few console games I haven't sold: Darksiders series and Space Marine are among them. And I spent well over two hundred hours with the Dawn of War series.

I'll cherish them.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Thank you THQ for Deadly Creatures, a flawed but wonderful game where I got to stab a farmer in the nads with a scorpion.

 

[Into]

RIP THQ

Thank you for publishing WCW/nWo World Tour, WCW/nWo Revenge, WWF Wrestlemania 2000 and WWF No Mercy

 

[GQman2121]

Red Faction was a shooter way ahead of the curve. And the world has yet to see a better wrestling series than the four games they published on the Nintendo 64.

 

[Blablurn]

Looking back I didnt play many THQ games

But I hope those guys will find new jobs quickly. They really went through some big shit. Really sorry for them I hope they can recover.

 

[Oersted]

RIP THQ, you will be missed.

Spoiler

We lost too many this gen.

 

[grandjedi6]

Thank you for that contest where we all won free copies of Destroy All Humans

 

[SolsticeZero]

I loved you THQ. I think I'll play some Dawn of War II tonight in memoriam.

 

[darkside31337]

A true Love/Hate relationship to the very end but RIP THQ

 

[Santiako]

So long and thanks for all the fish, THQ.

 

[Pooya]

Haven't played many games published by them, but I really like two in particular from them, Company of Heroes and Red Faction Guerrilla, both quite revolutionary at their time, unlike anything else.

RIP, hope the developers land somewhere that can produce same quality, somewhat risky titles that THQ let them and invested in.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

It sucks that they're gone, they released some of my favourite games of this generation.

 

[Lulubop]

Loved your wrestling stuff before this gen, and PC stuff this gen. Thanks.

I wonder where the WWE licence will go.

 

[8sanders]

I best remember them for their Wrestling games. Good stuff! RIP THQ!

 

[SovanJedi]

Someone didn't play their Pixar games D:

I played Home Alone 2 through to completion, so checkmate.

 

[jett]

They were really terrible before this generation, but they did try to turn things around with quality games and new IPs, only to bite them in the ass. Tragic, really. It's a shame.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Did THQ reallt stand for Toy Head Quarters?

Pretty cool I guess.

RIP.

Didn't know that until now

 

[Soulflarz]

Well, this is depressing...

 

[Vilam]

Thanks for giving me my start in the industry THQ =(

They had a ton going for them and lots of really solid titles... it really looked like things may turn around, but they were just too deep in a hole they couldn't climb back out of.

Sad day for the gaming.

 

[FrankT]

I mean... the generation is almost over... so it might be.

Perhaps, though I very much doubt it and those seeds will spill into next-gen.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Dust in the wind...

That's what THQ stood for?

Mind blown!

.

 

[Rickenslacker]

That's what THQ stood for?! I never knew either, but I pour one out for 'em.

Brought me some good games these last few years, even though they tormented me in the early aughts when Video and Arcade Top 10 was nothing but shitty THQ licensed cartoon games.

 

[fabricated backlash]

It's become pretty clear in the other thread that it's now over.

Let us remember the company fondly for the many great games and many great risks they were willing to take in their final days.

On behalf of my girlfriend I'd like to simultaneously extend her thanks for making de Blob and de Blob 2, and a huge fuck you to THQ for shutting down the developers and killing the franchise. But mostly thanks for even making them.

Personally I'll remember THQ for the countless hours me and my mate dug tunnels in MP on Red Faction PS2, and for publishing Conkers Bad Fur Day in Europe.

 

[slit]

I really liked a lot of THQ's output.

They were different, they were special. *cues funeral organ* *cries*

Seriously though, thank you for all your efforts.

 

[Nairume]

Thanks for the greatest wrestling games THQ.

Never forget

 

[JaxJag]

THQ started becoming one of my favorite publishers over the past few years. Darksiders, Company of Heroes, Warhammer, Saints Row, Space Marine, UFC games, WWE All-Stars, I even liked Homefront's multiplayer quite a bit.

Sad to see them go.

 

[JDSN]

Goodbye my sweet Prince, it wont hurt no more.

Please dont sent Relic to EA.

 

[iNvid02]

RIP

in reality, you should have regretted a lot

 

[SlasherJPC]

Thanks everyone that worked for THQ. Gone but never forgotten!

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Spoiler

someone colour these red

Jesus talk about nightmare fuel :/

End of an era. Thanks for all the memories THQ

 

[Kuroyume]

Thank you for that contest where we all won free copies of Destroy All Humans

I never got my copy.

Oh well, at least their HB made up for it.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Toy Head-Quarters? Damn, never put two and two together.

Loved your early WWE games, RIP

 

[infinityBCRT]

Sounds grim, but now might be the right time to pick up WWE 13. There was a period of time where I bought it every year but eventually found it ridiculous that they expected me to re-unlock everything and re-create all my CAWs every year.

Does anyone know if they ran their own Xbox Live servers or if MS runs them? Wonder how long those WWE 13 ones will be running.

 

[73V3N]

RIP THQ

so.. who bought what?

 

[LegatoB]

Thank you for that contest where we all won free copies of Destroy All Humans

Oh, wow, that was THQ, wasn't it? Pretty cool game for the low, low price of $0 I paid for it!

 

[LiK]

Goodbye my sweet Prince, it wont hurt no more.

Please dont sent Relic to EA.

Relic went to Sega if an employee's tweet is to be believed

 

[BasilZero]

R.I.P.

It was nice knowing and enjoyed the franchises

-WWF/WWE
-Saints Row
-Darksiders

 

[IHaveIce]

That's what THQ stood for?

Mind blown!

Same here.

RIP THQ.. thanks for many games I loved many of them, the WH40k games, Darksiders, Saints Row and many more..

 

[Isaccard]

Thanks for everything, and not shoehorning shitty DRM into your PC offerings.

 

[Kuroyume]

 

[disappeared]

Thanks for WCW/NWO Revenge.

 

[2San]

RIP THQ, I really enjoyed the Dawn of War games. You had a good run.

 

[Htown]

All my VGCW peeps, let's give one last salute to

#THQuality

 

[TheLucifer]

This is just depressing. I played a lot of their games, from the top of my head I remember Full Spectrum Warrior, Metro, Company of Heroes, Red Faction, Stalker SOC, the Warhammer saga among many others. They weren't perfect, but somehow you could tell that people actually cared about every single project, I've never seen them as another Activision or EA, they were pretty different. Maybe some games just needed a couple of extra months, but otherwise they were usually pretty good.

I hope that everybody involved in this come out okay in a way or another. RIP THQ

 

[sappyday]

THQ has always had great games, I would of never expected to go out of business.

 

[Baroni9]

Thank you for 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. If just for the Giant Bomb anecdotes.

 

[deleted]

Sad News indeed...

What does that mean for South Park? Still on its way?
