THQ files for bankruptcy

aw sheet

As much as I criticized them for some of the things they did, this is just sad ...
We can only hope that the devs get out of this.

That bundle was actually a farewell.

this gets me wondering: what happens to steam copies of games of a producer when they go bankrupt? could you still buy them?

What a shame. THQ was such a good company. Hope someone good picks up their games

Nooo!

I hope they don't sell their game rights to EA.

It looks like they weren't greedy enough...

Valve should buy their game rights

THQ sucked. Good riddance.

RIP

Really sucks. They didn't deserve this. My favourite games came from this company.

That is some bad news, but let's hope for the best...

I do remember good things thanks to them.
Makes me sad but as they say, business is business (same thing that kills good things in many recent games :P)

Very sad news.

Hopefully a private investor picks them up at a low price and makes them a private company again.

It's Chapter 11 bankruptcy, guys. It just allows the company to restructure while getting time to not pay back their debt. They still retain control of the company. A third of companies that undergo chapter 11 bankruptcy survive so let's just hope for the best. Actually, they have a good chance to pull through as they have Metro: Last Light, The Stick of Truth and Company of Heroes 2 nearly finished.

Red Faction series and Metro....Imo amongst the best games. The other games werent that bad either. I really liked THQ.

That is a shame, I spent a lot of my teen years playing their wrestling games on the N64. :(

I really hope they can recover in one form or another and continue to make great games.

Folks, I don't think you realize how Chapter 11 bankruptcy works. THQ isn't going bye-bye, the process is mainly a restructuring that could see them get better terms on their debt or have some of it forgiven. They could very well come out of it in a stronger position.

This isn't a Chapter 7 bankruptcy where they stop operations and all assets are liquidated. They are going to attempt to reorganize and create a plan to pay back their creditors over time.

wait so no south park game?

so nice

NooooOOOOoooo!
Damn, times like this when you wish you were a millionaire who could save an entire game company from bankruptcy. -.-

Everyone, take your pitchforks and protect those game rights from EA!

So basicly they might sell some of their IPs do they have any studios they could sell?

So I guess they aren't releasing Saints Row 4 with super powers... :(

...

:(

as I said some time ago... sadly it was faster than I though :(
