NASDAQ issued an (
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/120131/thqi8-k.html) official warning to THQ because their stock values are worth like nothing now($0.70). They have 180 days in which to bring their stocks up or they're dead.
THQ has been focusing on shitty shovelware movie games recently, and now boy do they suck a big one for it. They recently released a (

So either THQ are back in business, or are going to rape their IPs for whatever quick buck they can.

Throw Red Faction 1 up on GOG, release the source code and I'll buy it.

And?
On topic: losing the X360 version of The Witcher 2 probably hit them hard as well.

It's there for the purchasing. Please don't be an asshole and turn this into another pointless Steam debate -- use lost_soul's other thread for that if you really, really cannot help yourself.

Well, at any rate it will be somewhat sad to see them go. While they've mostly produced a mountain of shovelware 20 years high, a few good titles did come out of there. Company of Heroes, Dawn of War, even Saint's Row if 3 is anything to go by. Plus, while their WWE titles were by no stretch great games, they were OK at the least. A huge step up from the barely playable shit Acclaim did with the license.

I really enjoyed GTA:Mars

I wonder what happens to Relic then, and iirc THQ acquired the Homeworld IP a while ago and sat on it.

Legally speaking, what does happen to a company's IP when it folds?
