Troubled THQ To Be Picked Apart By Rivals

no thanks they have nothing i want.

i would rather see sega or take 2 to buy THQ as a full company not by certain franchises only.

Hmmmm I wonder if nintendo is looking to purchase and of the franchises.

Any*

this is actually kinda sad

@seronja i dont think sega could afford it either

The WWE games license is being sold

this sucks

What ARE their franchises? I actually have no idea.

Hopefully many jobs are saved.

I'm also curious as to what franchises they have.

Pretty safe to assume EA wants WWE.

@Tsuchinoko
Mainly tie-in licenses, but also Metro, Red Faction and Homefront: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thq

Well then, time for EA to destroy all of them

Not hard to look up. Again, mostly liecences but I think we'd all agree the WWE one is the big fishy for bidders, unless the E have something to say about it...

@Angelic_Lapras_King
Thanks for that, I'd missed that Darksiders was one of theirs, I'd guess that would be the other big hot property. Also, of interest to Wii owners, Deadly Creatures.

As long as South Park:The Stick Of Truth is still being made, let the auctions begin!!!

I just hope Saints Row doesn't fall into the wrong hands. I'd hate to see it be bought out by Rockstar, just so that it could never be used by another studio.

Despite that never happening I'd love to see Nintendo getting the rights over Darksiders. Loved the first one and loving even more the sequel on Wii U!

This will be very interesting so see where some of the franchises go. Specially the likes of WWE, Homefront and Saints Row.

Hm...Nintendo should try and pick up Saint's Row. Very fun series and frankly I'd say better than GTA in terms of combat and style.

There's too much of an overlap if they were to try and pick up Darksiders though. Hopefully no one actually does what MegaWatts mentioned, I'd hate to see some of their (THQ's) great franchises disappear as a result.

I'd like Ubisoft to nab some of their franchises.

I hope there's at least one WWE on the Wii U before THQ loses it.

NOOOOOO!!! I DON'T WANT WWE TO BE RUINED BY ELECTRONIC ARTS

For anyone wondering which franchieses are up for sale:

Saints Row
Metro 2033
Darksiders
Warhammer
Red Faction
Frontlines.

Maybe 2-3 of those might still be owned by the Developer, but that's a general list of THQ properties as of their bankruptcy filing.

Someone good better pick up Darksiders, it would awful to see the series die halfway through

It'd be funny to see Nintendo take Metro Last Light and make it a Wii U exclusive.

@DePapier I was thinking that too!

Nintendo needs to take Darksiders, if it really is as similar to LoZ, then they would work well with it.

@Tasuki I agree; please don't let that happen.

I feel sorry for the loss of jobs. I hope THQ employees can, & will get a new job soon, so they will be up on their feet, or never down from being up on their feet.

@ThePillowGolem Saints row feels like its way too dirty to be owned by nintendo though.

there is a reson they are going under. they really sont have that many solid licenses. although i like frontlines better then cod. hope ubi gets a bit, they tend to support nintendo fairly well.
