THQ up for sale; WH40K cancelled

[Fooliecoolie]

THQ has killed off all games slated for 2014 release because THQ will be probably going up for sale, including the Warhammer 40K MMO.

A 'rumour' by an 'Insider'. I'll wait for THQ's announcement first.

[Dariela]

Yeah, too early to call without official confirmation...

But if what the article said about their stock prices is true, then I wouldn't expect any good news...

[Spellweaver]

Shame, was looking forward to trying out that Warhammer 40k MMO.

Hope some other publisher picks it up so Vigil Games can finish it

Wouldn't be surprised. I can't remember the last time they had a really big hit. They desperately needed Homefront to be huge and it bombed pretty hard : /

I am always surprised that THQ got this far, does anyone remember there SNES catalogues... probably something everyone wants to forget

[Zeta333]

If they ruin the warhammer 40k mmo there shall be hell to pay. But really insider leaking information, lets wait for them to say it themselves.

[Uwibami]

This makes me sad, as I've always been a huge THQ fan, just looking at the shelf in front of me has several THQ games.

I really do hope this isn't true, but alas, you never know.

[Trogon]

Really hope this isn't true, since many of my favourite games are THQ and IMO they have a huuuge collection of really good games. What a shame if they go under

[Mistral]

Hmm THQ... I remember many many really shitty movie adaptions.
Let's se if I can remember something positive... they published the Sonic Titles for the GBA and Lock's Quest for the NDS. Oh and Titan Quest which wasn't so bad either.
Besides that... nope nothing I really liked honestly. Help me out?
Edit: They published Darksiders too, didn't they?

[Santti]

Awww, that kinda sucks. Hopefully it's just a rumor.

Would be quite ironic if Blizzard bought it, don't you think?

Blizzard isn't in the habit of buying out publishers, it would be more of a move on Activisions part. And I don't think irony means what you think it means...

At least I'll get metro Last Light before they go. Hope the games that come out will be big enough hits to keep them in the business a little longer

[inux94]

I love them, as much as they deserve to be closed down. Charging for skin packs on DoW2, making Saints Row: The Third look like Call of Duty, making exclusive playable characters to people who's willing to pay extra, Homefront... don't even want to talk about it.

As much as I hate and love THQ, it's both a NOOO! to WH40k online & a YES! for the absurd customer milking.

I'm seriously gonna be sad and lock myself in my room for a year if Last Light is cancelled too, highly doubt it though.

Loved the first one, thinking about buying the book just to pass time until it releases.

It was a multi-million seller, actually, but they really bet the farm on it so the company lost a ton of value when it reviewed pretty poorly. They were gunning for MW/BF and it fell pretty far short of that.

They haven't cancelled anything.

WH40K wasn't going to be about WH40K anyway. The Codex astartes does not tell you to "kite the adds" or "hold back dps so tank can aggro".

The Codex Astartes also doesn't tell you how to deal with cocked dice or two thirds of a squad being knocked off a cliff when someone goes to grab a drink but that's still WH40k.

Codex is an error and clinging to it makes you a failure.

Burn the heretic!

Many neckbeards that play as space marines hate it as much as me.
