I wonder if this backruptcy was party engineered by EA to drive out competition so they can scope up all the remaining sports games license.
WWE and UFC were both signed with THQ. THQ now are forced to sold their license to make UFC games to EA Sports.
UFC Zuffa hates EA Sports originally because when they originally approached EA the management at EA say MMA is not a sport thus they don't want to do it, hence THG got the gig. Now that MMA is popular and EA wants that pie they are once again seems to be forcing out competitions to get what they want.
If there was any anti-trust cases coming up I think EA should be on that list. |

MMORPGs are no longer about the mass multi-user anymore *sadly* |

Well, Chapter 11 so far. Lets hope some how they'll get out of it. If an other company buys them, I hope it won't be EA... If they go bankrupt in the end, I hope the Warhammer 40K servers will stay in the air, or get a fix somehow (local player hosting?)

Originally posted by aRtFuLThinG While I enjoy a good conspircy theory, this one has to be one of the more illogical ones. THQ didn't need any help from EA, this was self-created via the wonderful 'uDraw' (a tablet except not good). Wonder why there seems to be more haters on the internet? Read this by an actual marketing guy to find out why. |

Players come for the game, but they stay for the people- Most Devs have forgotten this. |

If only Homefront had gone better for them... They have some good games under their banner, but, it's fair to say, they made a lot of shit as well. |
