Subject description: Rumors are swirling... another publisher to bite the dust?
 

Seems that there's word spreading about that THQ has cancelled their MMO, returned licenses to Disney and ever shut down production on their 2014 and beyond projects... all of them!
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=459014

So maybe there's hope we'll get Del Toro's Insane in 2013 before they shutter or sell off the company to Asian firms? SAme for your Saints Rows, Homefronts, Warhammers, Red Factions, Darksiders...

Caught the rumour on Twitter. Isn't SR3 in, like, every top-10 seller list for November/December?

Yeah but games like Red Faction and Homefront have not been a success for them. Did Metro sell? A bunch of their offices got closed this year.

Oh yeah, Saint's Row...and Darksiders looked good, but I never got around to playing it. The WWE games sucked though, so I stand by my original comment.

If it ain't King of Fighters, it's wrong.*

*In some rare cases, it may be acceptable to substitute Street Fighter, Battle Arena Toshinden, or Mortal Kombat in the most extreme cases for The King of Fighters.

I didn't really mean a specific version, I just meant the game in general. When you talk about...well, fuck, I can't think of an example...I'll say World of Warcraft, but I've never played it so I could totally be out to lunch on this one, but I'll just assume I'm right anyway...so when you talk about World of Warcraft, do you mention all of the individual expansions? Fuck no, you just call it the piece of shit WoW that it is as a whole.

If only Battle Arena Toshinden came back and was as good as the first one...that game rocked.
