The cloud hovering over THQ's corporate head got a lot darker Wednesday – and the long-term forecast is pretty uncertain.
While there's certainly nothing happy about 240 employees losing their jobs and it's never a good sign when a CEO slashes his own salary, the actions could be the start of what THQ needs to do to ensure its long-term survival. But they may not be the end.
Alex & Mike talk Biomutant, a game from Experiment 101/THQ Nordiq you likely have not heard of. While the AAA side of the industry tends to homogenization and imitative, cinematic presentation, “AA” games remain creative and innovative in 2021. Drawing on inspirations as varied as Dark Souls, third person shooters & kung fu cinema, Biomutant is Ratchet & Clank on acid, developed by a team of 20 people.
Remember THQ? They published such games as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Darksiders I & II, the Destroy All Humans series, Homefront, the Red Faction series, and Saint's Row 1-3. Almost as famous as their games were the THQ marketing stunts, including a Golden Wii.
PlaySation gamers are in for a treat today! Not only did Sony roll out its “Double Discount” PlayStation Store sale, but there’s also a THQ Humbe Bundle PS4 discount happening too!
I'm starting to believe not much is going to come from THQ... despite this games outline they just released...
the company is currently dropping 19% in the NASDAQ... they are down to $.056 right now.. they closed yesterday at $0.76... they have a 180 day period to remain at $0.99 or above for 10 consecutive days...
it's not looking good at all.. even with the games outline and the paycuts/layoffs they are still steadily dropping in the market... and if they are removed from the market then THQ will be no more.
