    The writing's on the wall.

    http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/12/1...for-bankruptcy

    One question I have is if the servers for some of their current games out there(WWE '13) will still be up after their dessoloution(sp?).

    One company already issued a statement about this.....WWE. They said that they are watching the proceedings closely.

    Thoughts?

    It seems THQ have secured an investor. A private equity firm named Clearlake Capital Group.

    This is a community meesage from Jason Rubin:http://www.thq.com/uk/thq/go/article...om_jason_rubin

    Relic, THQ Montreal, Vigil and Volition's teams (amongst other stuff) are going to be purchased by them.

    THQ has made alot of good and bad games over the years.....always terrible to see a company with that much history start to fail. That is great news if they get picked up and can continue to make games.

    This is not THQ's death. In fact, they are prepared to get back rolling already. And, in fact, they even consider spearheading Linux gaming now Big Grin
